Sieve script won't compile. Compiler output isn't helpful.

[Steven Mainor]

Hello Martin,

Wow. That was indeed the problem. I have been staring at that small 
script for a week and I just couldn't see it. I even had a friend look 
at it and he couldn't find it either. I feel a bit ridiculous now.


Thanks so much for your help,

Steven
