Ah, my mistake, I missed the [:] after the source argument that was 
taking a copy... which brings up the question, how many other people 
would miss it?  Guess it's just a matter of how often you see the 
pattern, so you begin to expect the [:] and either look for it or take 
it for granted (hmm, another source of bugs?).

Apologies for any unnecessary alarm,
Mike
