The logic of this solution sounded very resonable, so I went ahead and
created more entries in the syls[] "chart". This, however, did not solve
the problem...it is still hanging at the same point...
Also, Mr. Greer metioned that log() entries are my best friend. I agree,
for that is how I resolved where the problem was occuring and what the
problem is. log() entries do not tell me why things happen as they do,
and that is what I am really looking for so I can correct these errors
before they happen.
Any other suggestions are welcome...
