I finally got around to this fix.
Finally got it working after pulling my hair out trying to get FMS14 to work on a mini-mac.  I think the mini-mac is bad.
So I tried a iMac for temporary service.  FMS14 worked.
Next step was getting FX fixed per below.  SUCCESS - initially on a database and web site.
Now just have to move all the databases over to the temp iMac and run FMS14 for a bit on all the web sites.
Will do that next day or two.
Thanks for your help.

One difficulty is that after moving FX.php to github, I stopped being careful about updating the version numbering (I've repented, and the current development branch is version 6.9).  Anyway, here are the things we did to get the other install working:
>>

I expect this last one won't be a problem for you, but just in case...

> I looked at this a while ago and in my initial testing, it seemed to be fixed...however; I just did a bit more in depth testing and it looks like I may have been premature in declaring this fixed.  I think the layout I looked at originally had empty portals, but they were at the end of the query / code, so it appeared to work fine.  If the first portal is empty, some of the page works fine, but other parts are messed up.
