Trying to get this back on the issue at hand ....

It appears to me (who isn't really folloing the thread), there are two 
issues, an immediate problem that Rolf's second patch addresses, and the 
actual variable name issue, which appears worthy of further discussion 
and thought.

It is always good to keep individual changes as simple as possible and 
avoid mixing too many thoughts in one commit.
