Yes, and what's more, the text of the error message was "IEH208". After reading it several times, one looked it up in a big fat set of books, where one found the explanation: IEH208: Your program contains an error. Correct the error and resubmit your job. An excellent system for purging the world of the weak and timid. -- To email me, substitute nowhere->spamcop, invalid->net. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
