Problem with 'filter' on large lists

[Terry Judd]

Actually the problem seems much wider than that. I'm seeing 'dodgy' 
returned data for some (but not all) smaller chunks of my data as well 
(<25000 lines). Good thing that repeat for each constructs are so fast. 
I'll stick with a custom filter routine based around that for the 
moment and see if I can tie down the problem (with the filter command - 
or my data) further.

Cheers,

Terry...
