Many thanks, I'm sure your analysis is correct.  But like Carl I 
find
the patch doesn't apply, although I didn't see his particular 
problems.
(Your patch also has 4 lines with trailing white-space, but that's 
not
the problem.)  Do you want to try again, or should I or Carl simply 
fix
it ourselves now you've identified the cause?
