Hi,
I tried an example from syst-gen.tex
\def\dosomething#1{(#1=\commalistsize) }
\getcommalistsize [\hbox{$a,b,c,d,e,f$}] \dosomething 1
\getcommalistsize [{a,b,c,d,e,f}] \dosomething 1
\getcommalistsize [{a,b,c},d,e,f] \dosomething 4
\getcommalistsize [a,b,{c,d,e},f] \dosomething 4
\getcommalistsize [a{b,c},d,e,f] \dosomething 4
\getcommalistsize [{a,b}c,d,e,f] \dosomething 4
\getcommalistsize [] \dosomething 0
\getcommalistsize [{[}] \dosomething 1
And it gives me
(1=1) (1=6) (4=4) (4=4) (4=4) (4=4) (0=0) (1=1)
Notice that
\getcommalistsize[{a,b,c,d,e,f}] gives 6. Is this expected behaviour
or a bug?

Looks like a bug to me, unless Hans changed this on purpose?

nice trick:
\def\getcommalistsize#1]% don't loose [{#1}]
{\commalistcounter\zerocount
\processcommalist#1]\p!dogetcommalistsize
\edef\commalistsize{\the\commalistcounter}}
