The operation in question probably worked at one time ...
the lambda expression needs a #' preceding it or something

I'll take a look at it, but I can't make any promises,
and it's likely there are additional errors, and I don't
really know what the code is supposed to do.
Maybe you can tell us what you hope to accomplish.
