You might want to try compiling the program on Nuxi or run it through
the "cb" to find the unbalanced braces you overlooked in the "very
long main() function" that preceeds this.  Or, mail me the source
file and I'll point out the problem for you.  Since moving the function
elsewhere changes the problem, this is the likely problem.

We understand the confusion and frustration one suffers when confronted
with problems of this sort...apologies are gladly accepted :-)
