Indeed I checked there first, but as I pointed out in my original post, although there is an abundance of posts relating to this tool, there are non recent - and worse still - no definitive answer which conforms to the parameters of the problem I encountered.
Posting to the list (in this instance) I regarded as a last resort, having done - in total - several days of rather detailed searching for a possible solution. Happily I'm not one of those "I can't be bothered to RTFM/Google, I'll just let someone else answer my questions for me" Nooooo. Incidentally, I get the impression that advice to the majority of people is "patch, patch, patch" which I can assure you I most definitely did. Anyway, not to be ungracious in any way, my thanks to you for posting a potential help resource.
