I sort-of knew that somewhere at the back of my mind but I wasn't sure
if the last command would be the if statement or the eval command?

Oops, this is my fault for being too hasty and too stupid. The problem
is that the redirection of stderr had been lost and was nothing to do
with the exit code. The exit code was my first guess because that was
what the problem was last time. It appeared to fix the problem, because
the first time, I ran it, it produced the error message, I reloaded
_call and it worked properly but that was because _cache_groups had now
been set.
The patch fixes _groups. I'll also correct _call.
Sorry about that
Oliver
