Re: index/newindex on a table

["Peter Loveday" <peter@...>]

In fact the problem here was that the metatable was being (unexpectedly)
replaced by other code elsewhere in the app, lacking a _newindex, hence the
global was being set.  So it was my (silly) problem.

Sorry to waste your time on this one!
