Hi Dar,
I just posted that earlier this morning but it caught in the dreaded
"message too big" trap - I sure wish that limit would be increased.

Anyway, the gist of my post was that I included local declarations for temp
and counter because I use strict compilation mode and everything worked
fine for me right from the start.  I switched strict compilation mode off
and removed the local and the problem raised it's ugly head immediately.

It seems that the pre-allocation of memory works differently than the
allocation of memory on the fly, which is somewhat scary.
