Hi jonathan

JDBP>  Once Upon a time, the fair prince Maintenance Programmer of the
JDBP>  Kingdom of TLA and his Guru were working on a rather large program.

etc...

Like it! ROFL

JDBP>  After a week of The Hunt, a four byte source change (adding the
JDBP>  initialiser " = 0" to the declaration of the variable), cured the
JDBP>  problem.  This was the cause of much exclamation amongst the subjects
JDBP>  of the Kingdom of TLA.  And yea the Prince did beat the Guru over the
JDBP>  head for not thinking of this earlier.

That is something I'm very careful about, at least most compilers give
a warning. I normally compile with all warnings on and compile to only
warnings for unused parameters (for future use or unused in this build).
