Yep, checked, double checked, and triple checked.

The if statement was originally a single line and the error line didn't change when I split it up and that is too many lines gap to be a misfingered off by one error

One of the mysteries of the pooliverse.

If you have the desire to follow up on this, I'd like to see you scatter someprint STDERR "At line: ", __LINE__, "\n"; through your source and try to see where it gets off.
