I think I've had it in other Toolbox modules than Drawfile. A
significant cause is that the C/C++ installer puts its modules in the
wrong place, eg in !System.310.Modules instead of !System.Modules (I
think this is the same fault as the SysMerge thingy built into RISC OS
3.5+'s !Boot). Even if you install newer versions in the right place,
the <System$Path> variable causes the old ones in the wrong place to be
scanned first.
