Thanks, I had already come up with the same workaround, but it took forever to figure out what the problem was. The only errors I got related to not being able to find the class, and ce.name always showed the correct value during debugging. Somehow, I just assumed that name_length was set properly too. 

Would it be worthwhile to make this "feature" more obvious to the unwitting newbie?

Thanks for the help...again.
