Niels,

Not sure how this happened but I totally missed the bug report when you filed 
it.

I just checked that with a small program. Looks like we do indeed need \$nerr
(or something like it) now.  My earlier with 'undef' was seemingly too clever
by half.

The odd thing is that I run beancounter every (business) day and I have not
been bitten.  beancounter runs every day for me -- so I will downgrade the
severity to normal; I hope you do not mind.

I think I'll look into making a new beancounter bug fix release.

Thanks again for the report.

Dirk
