It certainly won't help! Well spotted, thanks.

That's right....

It gets weirder and weirder. I tried simply correcting my mistake, and nothing
changed. I replace my function with your function and it gets a bit further.
However it's doing something even stranger now.

I get the same SIGSEGV error, but now it's occurring somewhere between the 2
lines of code below:

//(in the main function)
earth.get_element_at(2);
cout << "test3";

The function (which just reads the 2nd element) works OK and gives the correct
output, but then the program aborts before perfoming the cout!

Maybe I should go back to ZX Basic :(

Thanks for your help Michael....
