<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Thanks.  That was from v1.8.8 on computer 2 I hope.  Computer 1 with v1.8.9 should have the -nan% problem fixed.</p>
<p>I'm a bit stumped for the moment.  I've filed a bug report.  Probably, if I still can't reproduce my end, I'll add some more detailed tracing to verbose output and ask you to try again next week if that's ok.</p>



<p>Thanks for reporting!</p><span><font color="#888888">
