This is a quick reply, as I am very busy and non-urgent bugs will take some time to address.
I have looked through this mail several times now, and I cannot decide what bug is being reported. I shall certainly look at the conditional evaluation, but you have already found a workaround for that. In short, it is not clear to me whether there is an actual bug here as there is not enough information to see what you are trying. Looking at my current schedule, it will take me several weeks to before I can spend any time on this. I recommend finding a workaround for the problem you are having, and perhaps providing more information about the exact syntax you are using. (Apologies if you have provided this on the sourceforge site - I have not gone into depth there) Mark SiliconSlick wrote: > Howdy cfengineers, > > I filed a bug last month at the sourceforge and > haven't seen any notice of attention.
