Tech support received a report last week that the article in the 
newsletter had reversed two parameters in external.c. Two functions have 
their first two parameters interchanged (p_name and p_group).

This was verified last week and a correction is supposed to be made to 
the article. But in the mean time, if you are using either of those two 
functions, the error may be due to that reason.
