Ah. I noticed near the end of developing this, that we were calculating
"pos" twice. Once in the search for stub functions, and again later, where
the above assignment was necessary. I then realized that finding pos the
first time wasn't necessary and removed it, but didn't remove this second
initialization of pos.
Will remove it in v2.

I'll send a v2. Thanks for looking at it.
