Although it would certainly be sensible to be safe, the existing tests have tended to evolve so that any time an unquoted variable appears the variable has been set (this one is a recent addition which I failed to spot). It would be a good idea to fix all these (particularly so that it encourages people to write safe tests in future, avoiding the current problem) but I don't think it's necessary for an immediately release. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR PLC, Churchill House, Cambridge Business Park, Cowley Road Cambridge, CB4 0WZ, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 To access the latest news from CSR copy this link into a web browser: http://www.csr.com/email_sig.php
