    I don't have a clue to how to write the "conditional which tests for that 
case".

Have you tried to figure out how?

    Show what that conditional is ... then we can continue this talk.

To figure out what this conditional is, one must first get to the bottom
of the failure.  If you explain the failure mode to me, I will try to figure
out a safe fix.
