Is that not tautology, testing the same thing twice?
(which in itself is tautological ) Anyway, that off my chest.

Can I secondly assume that the error message missing the actual line
of the sub-expression is perhaps misleading, but not quite the point.

	To be fair, I've been flummoxed before by:
	

if equal(a[x..y],stuff) then <blah>..[p..q] end if
	

	and been equally baffled that x and y *are* correct, before
	 finally noticing that it is one of p or q that is wrong.

Am I right in guessing that what you really meant to say was that
changing the test that way stops it crashing, but allows stuff like 
"/APxx" and "b.htm" pass by?
