Dear all, since my very recent update to the new tex distribution (tex 2012) I'm facing a problem with setting values of counter using mathematic formulas as 2-1. a minimal example looks like this:
\documentclass{memoir}
\begin{document}
\newcounter{b}
\setcounter{b}{2-1}
\theb
\end{document}
which in my case sets the \value{b} to 2 and prints -1 (s. the attached file),
instead of setting the \value{b} to 1. (I need it in order to set a connection
between 2 counters like \setcounter{b}{\thea-2} etc.)
I would be extremely thankful for any support, since this issue completely
destroys my workflow.
thanks in advance
Andrey
