Problem with custom accounting module.

[Bill Schoolfield]

Thanks Alan. This is from 2.1.12. Still using it because that's the 
default (rpm) for CentOS. If it were just us I'd look at v3 but I need 
for this to work w/o too much build/deployment issues for our clients.

The request pointer is not null, the items within it are.

Could this be a thread issue? How can I debug this further?
