 Hi,
 I was catching errors, and when I had none I got this, so errmsg(0)
 seems to return funny stuff:
 <script-output>
 ? myerr = $error
 Ersetzte Skalar myerr = 0
 ? print myerr
          myerr =  0.0000000
 ? printf "Error message: %s\n", errmsg(myerr)

OK, fixed in CVS. Oddly enough, what you saw is what you get if you pass 
an empty string to gettext (in English the errmsg(0) return value was 
empty, as you'd expect.)
