Re: Re: Subtile bug in script parsing ?

Hi Chris,

I've gazed at the code with a dumb expression for many hours and found
nothing wrong. That's to be expected since the code works correctly
"almost" always.

The fact that it messes up on rare occasions probably means that its a
series of things that if done in a particular order sometimes build up to
something unexpected. Its the worst kind of bug and very hard to find.

Maybe I'll get lucky one of these days :)
