One of our clients has pointed out some inconsistent behaviour when dealing 
with multivalues in dicts in their 5.2 site.
 
They have a record with two attributes.
 
Attr# 1 = "2" @VM "1" @VM "1"
Attr# 2 = "1" @VM "1"
 
In their old 3.4.10 site, if they had a dict item which looked this...
 
001 A
002 0
003 1-2
004
005
006
007
008 A;1-2
009 R
010 10
 
When they listed their record with this dict item, it returned...
 
"1" @VM "0" @VM "1"
 
which is what they expected.
 
When they did the same subtraction in a basic program, it again gave the 
same result, which was great, AND consistent...
 
They tried the same test on their new 5.2.15 site, but the results were not 
as expected.
 
When they listed their record with their dict item, it returned....
 
"1" @VM "0" (h'mm, only two values returned ?)
 
However, when performing the same test in a basic program, it worked as 
expected.
 
At first glance, it looks like a bug to me, but I'll dig further and look 
at some other string manipulations to see how they fare.
