You're right, I tried it on another site, and it worked fine also.  I tried 
adding the logging line to the parse_map subroutine.  However, when ever I 
try to activate ICDEBUG, I get an undefined catalog error.

I also tried creating a empty search profile for the simple one, but to no 
avail.
Anyone have any ideas on what it could be?
