Putting empty into the labelVariable in each repeat loop solves some  
problems so I would imagine it would in the above as well.  I've done  
this before:

repeat for each line theLine in theData
     split theLine by ";" AND ":"
     -- do something fancy
     put empty into theLine
end repeat

Without the line "put empty into theLine" the code doesn't always  
work correctly.  With the line it does.  Of course, according to the  
docs I was being bad and should change my behavior.
