ok, that's a real bug, it should be

     pair Location[][] ; % second [] was lost

in mp-page.mpiv

the initialization of those variables was made delayed when i found out 
that mp needed 4 seconds instead of < 1 on a manual; in th emeantime 
mp's mem management has been improved much but i'll keep the delayed 
code as it's more efficient anyway - but also a bit more complex
