The only difference that seems significant to me is that I uncommented a
variables_order option in the "Quick Reference Section" rather than
changing it further down where it is actually set, not realizing that
where I found it wasn't the place to set it.

So that still leave me with my question, why did it run with the old
settings rather than just crash?
