Hi Nicolas,

I tried the fixes you suggested (1 and 3) and it still isn't working. I 
published tothe repository with these changes, though the pipeline is 
broken as I rewire my skull (intro frames). This will take several days 
to complete, I think, although progress is being made. Then I will be 
able to turn my full attention back to RS and Arrays for starters. 
Please pardon the delay, but I think frames will bring an advantage, 
perhaps not performance but design and flexibility.

Many thanks for taking a close look at RS,
robert
