Aha!  Yes, that' s the answer - I had a conditional expression involving
library calls inside the 'else'-less 'if' statements I thought were
causing the error, but it was wrapped up in a macro, so I didn't spot it.

Thanks, (hopefully Google will index this thread so that others won't be
as confused as me in the future :-)
