I thought this might amuse you ...go ahead, laugh at my expense!
It the course of trying to debug a program, I found I had one Exec line that worked and one that didin't. I reduced the complexity to make debug easier, then put them on the same page to compare. I still could not see the difference.
Eventually I opened my Hex editor and manually did a byte-by-byte comparison and found the little blighter.

Err! I'm more of a lager lout than a real ale man. There is a some local brewing on the island, in fact, the lager I drink is brewed locally even though its originally a Dutch beer. Have a look here http://www.randallsbrewery.com/.Do you have any local breweries on the island, or is it all imported?

Re: Why am I so useless at proof reading?
Nice one jornmo.
When I'm in my man-in-a-hurry mode I just miss things like this. If I'd read it out loud to myself, I may have found it sooner.
So yes, the top line with "identify" works, the line with "identity does not work.
