I will let you slide on that one. Are there other things like that,
which could possible hinder the drivers performance. Not saying that one
does, but if there are others?

Well it seems that the exception is only thrown when the blob id ==0 so
what that actually means will require me to dig further into the code to
see where and how that function is called. To know what it's purpose
would be. For the time being I am going to comment it out and see what
the results are.

I will look into that but no guarantees. I may have time later today or
tomorrow to do this, but if I do have the time. I will be nasty and ugly
and will not have to much error correction stuff. Just what it takes to
create that same error.
