Latcho you've got it all wrong.
The true power of debugging is posting your code on a mailing list and
letting other people debug your code for you. It's much easier to ask
dozens of people to look at your code than for you to comment out lines of
code and write traces on your own.
Even better, post that you're getting an error and you don't know why.
Don't post the error or the code, just vaguely describe what the problem is
and end your post with "please help!". A few people will respond to you
asking you leading questions to help them help you. Then, you will feel
like people care about you and your problems, and you won't feel so alone in
the world.
I will comment out the lines, I will comment out the lines, I will comment
out the lines. Please don't be rude in the name of being "funny". It's not
funny.
During this holiday season, people just need to feel like somebody cares.
Care by not being rude. Just leave it at telling me to comment out the
lines. Be nice.

Beno,
It's all good advice. It's may take you ages to track down these bugs,
but a lesson will be learned. Stipping back code until the problem goes
away is a great technique.
I think I and others have already told you what the real problem is.
Paul
