Thanks Bob and Mike. More of a shot in the dark than doing blindfold surgery, I'd say. I've no idea why the fix should work at all. There are plenty of other functions defined using a similar header. Why didn't j901 make *them* disappear too?
Can't submit a bug report since I haven't the means to replicate the bug on a smaller scale.
