Jon, I have understood the problem for quite a while now, thanks to this list.

But when you have already 2500 modules that are shared in this way, ie copied many times in many programs, how many exactly I don't know, you can't just change to service programs overnight. It's like a big ocean-going liner. 5 mile turning circle and all that.

Without wanting to sound rude - this question is really in the category of "Doctor, doctor - it hurts when I bang my head on the wall".

Binding by copy is primarily intended to provide the best call performance in a "one caller to one callee" situation. Bind by reference (Service programs) is intended for the "Many callers one callee" situation - i.e. code reuse of the kind you describe.

So the basic solution is the same as that to the doctor question "Stop doing it" and start using service programs.
