OK.  Having read longhelp I instructed the path to the new atomicparsley 
using --atomicparsley /usr/local/bin and this time there was no stack 
dump but an error message concerning the thumbnail:-

[CODE]

/home/alastair/Book_at_Bedtime_-_The_Goldfinch_7._I_Wont_Forget_You_b03fb923_default.jpg 
failed at /usr/bin/get_iplayer line 2709.
[CODE]

The thumbnail was saved separately in a .jpg file.  My mistake?

Going back to housekeeping I checked my prefs and note I still am using 
version 2.82 with the swfVfy instruction which corrected for a change at 
the bbc end.

I have now just upgraded to version 2.84.  Should I clear the swfVfy 
line from prefs?
