However, while writing out the bug report form (I hope you guys like
verbose mode) I discovered another factor. The macro called from the
include does have to live in the scene file, but the bug appears to be
related to changing windows in some way.

The odds on it being POV (the core code) appear to have lengthened
considerably, the odds on it being a gremlin in the interface code in the
MacOS version appear to have moved to odds-on marginally worse than even,
with Toast CD Reader extension fighting against Quicktime (4.0.1?)
Extensions for a very short odds second favourite position.
