Ok, good.

The version that had the error appears to me to be the same:

Can you tell me any more about the differences between these two machines?

Yes, I did expect that. Narrowing down the differences would be the first 
step in solving this problem. The second is to find out why the directory 
listing has a different length on both machines. Would you be willing to 
run some tests for me to help fix this?

Cheers, Chris.
