As has been correctly reported here that isn't a Clipper product bug.  It
is due to someone having their own function called HEADER() which is now a
reserved word.  Problems will result if anyone has functions with the same
name as any of the newly included functions in 5.01.

These types of conflicts can be reduced by using #include "reserved.ch"
which will result in a duplicate definition error by the compiler.  I don't
use it as a general rule but if you have a large app you might want to test
it out against that file.
