Fixed Maxis Bug: Apartment Lots ... any incoming calls?

SCREENSHOTS
When testing a reported issue with the phone call that is part of novel writing, I discovered (by running with testing Cheats Enabled) that all the incoming calls to an Apartment seem to fail. I had errors with the hobby magazine subscription phone call, and a sim phoning up for a chat before I even got to the novel complete phone call. They all failed in the same way.
So, if you've noticed that you don't get incoming calls to your Apartment lots, I suspect you suffer from this same error - if you turn on boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true, and you get a pop-up window notiying you of an error on an incoming call type object, then you have this problem.
This is a global mod. I don't know of any mods this clashes with. There is always the possibility of course, so the pertinent information for the owner of the other object is here.
Possible hack clashes

Turns out that the Maxis code is falling foul of their Set to Next (0x001Fwiki Obj with categorywiki loop not setting Temp 0x0000 back to the category they are looking for when Temp 0x0000 is used for something else inside the loop. See example - BHAV:Find nearestwiki.
