Well I'm not playing with references and I'm not passing this variable to anybody else, it is mine and mine alone *muhahahaha*.

I'm starting to worry though that this code isn't being called as I'd expected and is possibly being eval'd into existance or manipulated in some way, because I've been looking more and more into it and it doesn't make sense.

I was hoping that this problem could easily be explained by 'I know too little', but maybe I should be leaning towards 'the guy who wrote this is a code slingin' cowboy'. It isn't the first weird thing I've seen him do *chuckles*
