The reason I did not post code is because when I tested out the actual text, the program worked just fine. Therefore I wanted to see if someone else had run into this before spending hours doing some serious debugging.

I will be working up some test cases later to see if I can reproduce this error. This drove me nuts and, if there is a problem with either of these modules, I would like to nail down exactly what it is and either fix it or at least report it.

In the meantime, while the clock is ticking at work, rhesa's response seems to have solved the problem. How and why, I wish I knew, and will have to work on that in my own time.

Thanks Everyone!
