[FX.php List] Strange FX behavior

I would if this awful database didn't have 4000+ fields in it. I  
didn't write this absolutely awful database set; this person  
apparently threw fields into it willy-nilly, not to mention database  
files. It was written in 4 or 5 I think, and there are fields for  
every function she wanted to do.

I'm trying to duplicate an IWP solution she *tried* to write... this  
is just a simple FIND with a ton of fields... shouldn't take long to  
write, if I could just get the fields to return.

I tried compacting & optimizing the file, but that didn't help;  
anyone recommend recovering?
