Sorry, I forgot to mention explicitly that the compound command's form determines whether this will happen or not. The issue happens with
(list)
but not, for example, with
{ list; }
I did not test other forms, but I suppose only "(list)" is affected. The error message strongly suggests that the parser simply expects that an opening parenthesis will be directly followed by a closing parenthesis. -- Filipus Klutiero http://www.philippecloutier.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
