      The behaviour of functions with by-reference parameters called by value has
      changed. Where previously the function would accept the by-value argument,
-     a warning is now emitted and all by-ref parameters are set to &null;.
+     a fatal error is now emitted. Any previous code passing constants or 
+     literals to functions expecting references, will need altering to assign 
+     the value to a variable before calling the function.
