    Quite a common mistake I would say... :-)

    When you stare yourself blind at a problem it helps to ask a friend for
    help. Becase in explaining the problem, you get a fresh look at the
    problem you have been digging yourself into.
    Besides, you get a drive to find it out before your friend does :-)

    Anyhow, getting the problem solved is the more important thing.
