I have two product conditions in my ditamap. Usually I exclude them using a 
ditaval file.

<prop action="exclude" att="product" val="productA"/>
  <prop action="exclude" att="product" val="productB"/>

which works fine.

I also need to produce a combined output (essentially a superset) where the two 
conditions are flagged in different colours.
I have removed the exclude lines above and tried the following instead, but it 
crashes.

  <prop action="flag" color="blue" att="product" val="productA" />
  <prop action="flag" color="red" att="product" val="productB" />

I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce the problem using latest version of XMLmind DITA Converter (v2.5.3 integrated into latest XMLmind XSL Utility v5.1). The above DITAVAL ``flags'' do not crash XMLmind DITA Converter and work as expected. See attached files (topic files are not attached; just the map, the DITAVAL and the resulting PDF).
