Error description
A new version of trim() which uses a 'void' return parameter breaks customer scrips which use an alternative trim(). It is documented that, when overloading: 'ensure that the first declaration of the function does not have a void parameter' as it 'may lead to unexpected results' Notably not all scripts which use the customer variant, which comes originally from the example DXL library, fail. This was introduced between 9.5.0.0 and 9.5.1.2. Workaround: Either rename the second function. Or, modify the new definition to return e.g. an empty string.

Problem conclusion
Rename method trim() to trim_(). The DXL reference manual states that customer's should not use functions with trailing underscores.
