Well, I "doubt" that Erin will get a flood of responses pointing this
out, since it is obvious to almost any reader (by virtue of the fact that the
code in question is completely isolated) that Erin already knows this
code is incorrect.

I don't have an answer to the question Erin asked, either; sorry.
