Michael, Tom,
Thank you both for your responses .. I discovered that, while I was
editting what I thought was the running script, I was actually running
an earlier (wrong) version extracted a moment earlier from the version
control system, in a paralell directory. This became obvious when I
deleted the offending line and the error remained exactly the same.
However, I am intrigued to find out about the character offset that
appears in the error. How is that calculated? This would be useful
diagnostic information to have in the future.
Thanks!
Alex
