OK, I went back and tried it with 6.5.1 and indeed see the same failure
as Rob. So it's something that's been fixed in the current sources.
I dunno what --- but I did a *lot* of work on the parser's array support
last month, and that might have something to do with it...

That one is still there in current sources. Will clean it up.

A backport from current may not be too practical, unless someone wants
to try to identify exactly what's failing in 6.5.*. I bet it's an array
issue, but beyond that I'm clueless.
