Robert:
Great call on figuring out how the compilation seemed to "fall over"!
there's a mathematical algorithm used for comparing strings to see how far apart (the "Distance") they are, that's been used both in Spell Checkers and, most recently, matching DNA sequences

this may be way too much firepower for your application, but the technique has been around for nearly 50 years, and some of the algorithms seem to be particularly direct and straightforward, even if they involve lots of iterations
