Ah, that makes sense, because I was thinking "why would code with parse
errors ever leave your development environment?", but now I can see how
it would happen :) That sort of thing occasionally happens where I
work too, but the fact totally broken code gets released still
surprises me. I hope you've managed to sort out all the newly
introduced parse errors now.
