What was that about "assuming"?? ;-)

Yep that all makes sense. I was thinking this was the area of the
code most likely to be causing problems, but just by looking at it I

I think there may be some utility functions in IB_Parse that can help
us out in this situation. I will investigate further now that I know
how to reproduce.
