Thanks for tracking that down, Bill.  Alternately, you can change the if(1) 
test at line 9 to if(0) and take advantage of the older version of the 
script, which relies on open-ils.storage instead of making an external call 
to oils_requestor.  (The oils_requestor version was added to accommodate 
speedier processing of blocked lists with hundreds of thousands of patrons.)
