I have been working with Javier privately on this problem, and I believe we
have figured out what was going wrong. It seems that Javier's ado-file and
executable updates were out of sync. After performing a complete update, the
problem was resolved.
There was a command being called by -xtile-, or being called by a command
called by -xtile-, that had been updated to allow different syntax. In this
case, Javier's ado-files had been updated to use this new syntax, yet his
executable had not been updated to allow the new syntax.
This is one reason why it is so important that you make sure you have the most
recent ado-file and executable updates. One may rely on the other, and it is
not a good idea to let them get out of sync.
