- Whoops, seems I wasn't paying close enough attention to the
- error... I saw the context of its appearance by the font change
- and the stack size without bothering to check on its source so I
- assumed it was the more common problem (in my experience at
- least). There did appear to be some bogus code near the error but
- as I indicated the log alone can't diagnose the problem.
