error suggests the most common cause (out-of-memory error).</p>

correctly handle files with a colon ‘:’ in the name; correctly handle

with the correct name when the ‘basename’ is changed; correctly
finding secondary files when the parameter is optional; and correctly
interpreting secondary file expressions as returning a full filename
instead of an extension. {: .ticketdesc}</p>
