Oops, you're right.  Doh.  I'm thick.  Shoulda clicked when I converted
from simple compile_object() to destructing things further down the
inheritance tree.  Fixed, wonderful.

Sorry, yeah.

It's set at 4 byte integers for ints be default (using SAS/C compiler). 
Hmmm...  I'll need to go home and take a look again.  Thanx though, all
suggestions welcomed.  However, I think I shall convert to using IEEE
floats completely, I'm using floats quite intensively.  Even a simple look
command commits numerous vector transformations and comparisons, I'd
rather have the FPU do the biz (when I buy a linux machine in the near
future).
