Well, what he's saying is that he could not reproduce jptxs's problem because the code that was originally published does work if you include enough to make it even make sense!

See the part that's broken is the part that jptxs didn't tell us about. That's a common help-desk nightmare. I understand how people fall into that trap: it's a complex system, and they don't know what's broken, so they throw random parts of it at experts and say "is this broken?". As we kept saying, no, this part is not broken. That's life.
