Changing this behavior leads to undesirable behavior in other situations. I think it was related to += in a target-specific variable not having the expected semantics. I think there's even a bug about this in Savannah already. IIRC, there is no one behavior in this situation that works "as expected" in every case. I'm assuming all the regression tests still pass with your patch applied? I can't remember whether I added a test for this situation or not. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
