Of course it does. Silly me. Apologies for being so stupid and thank you for
being so patient with me!

Yes, I did at least understand that! OK, I've been thinking about this more and
your persistence is paying off. I will apply the patch and once 10.33 is
released we shall see if anybody complains! One good thing that has come out of
this is that I *think* I now fully understand what is happening so I ought to
be able to update the documentation to explain it clearly.
