Nigel and Paul informed me that merely taking the scripting additions
out of their folder didn't disable them. I never knew that! When I
took them out and did a restart I found that "date 0" wouldn't compile
any more. I added the Osaxen back one at a time, attempting to compile
after each one. When I put Akua Sweets back in the Scripting Additions
folder "date 0" was able to compile. There must be a coercion in Akua
Sweets that makes the difference.
