Wonderful - so the Arabic patch (can't you tell I have a one track
mind :-) works.  And it sounds like Tony found that patch-303 was
triggering his problem as he notes below,

Now that things have settled (without regard to patch-303 as it
has nothing to do with arabeyes), is it too early to start talking
about the Arabic patch's inclusion ?  I'll need to update the help
page (arabic.txt) to note knowledge about 2 known minor bugs (nothing
I'm planning on fixing soon since they are very minor but cumbersome);
other than that the patch is ripe and ready :-)

Thanks Steve, Tony for all your help and investigate diligence.

PS: no need to CC me since I'm on the 'developer' list :-)
