I further investigated this and it becomes more and more curious. 

If I place spica-name before graha-name then it faults, but not if I place it 
before tithi-name. If I push it to before nakshatra-name it faults again, but 
does not fault before yoga-name, and again faults before karana-name but does 
not fault *after* karana-name. 

In all the cases, it is memory location 0x726956 which faults with <Address 
0x726956 out of bounds> ...
