There is a static definition of $status in PageTextVar() but as long
as you aren't accessing a given PTV more than 500 times (configurable)
then it shouldn't be a problem...  Did you just clear
$PCache[$page]['=pagetextvars'] and $PCache[$page]['=p_*']?  I
remember struggling with this once before and being very frustrated --
right now it looks like a great solution...
