There's a nasty change in 5.0 with patches and 5.5 push. Intrinsic calls
became case-insensitive.

Totally blew Growthpower 7.06 right out of the water. Turns out it calls
a "Front End" account SL with "FREAD" which turns around and calls
"fread" system intrinsic. Lo and behold along comes case insensitivity.
Now the call to "FREAD" gets bound to the system "fread" (yes, even with
LIB=P or LIB=G) which causes Growthpower to abort on start.

We had to backdate from 5.5 to the original 5.0 push.

(This problem only exists on Growthpower 7.06 and NOT Growthpower 2000).
