This wasn't bad code as far as I know. I simply copied/pasted the same code to an include file and the problems went away...

Its been a long time since I corrected the issue and I can't recall exactly what the effects were... I think it was issuing an error [/functionspace] or something.. not on every "page" in the sandbox however.. just some.. But like I said, its been a long time. If you still can't find anything, I will recreate the scenario at the wee hours for you on the live server and report the error more exactly.
