Think the rationale was that if the configuration file specifies a 
layout with an MDC field and it's not defined in the code, 
'uninitialized variable' warnings are going to be all over the place. If 
it causes problems somewhere else, it's more consistent to just return 
undef. Fixed and checked in ...
