That is the main issue, the code was using the wrong hungarian-lite prefixes.
You’d see something like
on myHandler pDataA
…
end myHandler
But, lo and behold, on top of the script there would be something like
local pDataA
Now, is that an argument to a handler? a script-local? It depends! Strict
compilation mode doesn’t care about variable shadowing.
