- here's a news flash for ya: it's not only your problem, it happens to all software code
- at some point in thier development, however there are tools called debuggers which aid
- programmers answer the ultimate question: "why doesn't my code work?". ever tried simply
- debugging your code and actually see where/when/why it crashes.
- nothing useful can be said regarding your problem from this source code because not all
- the sources are here and no one can guess what exactly is being done in one of the
- pattern matching functions. a newbie you may be, but this is a basic thing every newbie
- must already know.
