Hmm, yes, you're right since the >= and < have the same operator 
precedence it would evaluate the >= first since its leftmost. 

So my earlier answer is wrong in detail but right in principle. 
Apologies for any slight confusion it may have caused 
- the fix was OK tho'.

To make some some amends I'll cite the page in the manuals 
with the full precedence list to save anyone looking for it...
