Hi Samuel,

When I say a 'small self contained example', what I mean is sufficient 
code that I can re-do exactly the same thing you are doing that causes 
the failure. Not just some snippets of code that show some things.

In other words, what I gave you earlier is something you can reproduce 
exactly, just by copying and pasting my code. If you can't give me the 
same thing, then it won't be possible for me or anybody else to help you.

Best,

Jim
