agree. i'm just guessing as to the cause, and path problems are
very common. Could either be a newly created function that is not in
the cached path, or perhaps misnamed, or not in the path at all.

My point being, if it is a problem like that, then it will still be a
problem
in the future, and the compile option won't fix it.
