Neither am I. However, in the past the example above ran as intented until
some moment I was unable to pinpoint precisely. The example I sent is a
simplified ripoff from the SVAR hansl code, which used to work ok and now
doesn't. I committed a change in the SVAR script in CVS and uploaded the
updated gfn file which works around the issue by doing exactly what you
said (forcing the result to a scalar), but the fact remains that, at some
point, we must have introduced a slight backwards incpmpatibility, which
is what my CVS commit to the C source was supposed to fix somehow.
