objects represented in a string (to simplify the code, I imagine). The
'value' function is interpreting everything up to the ',' which means all
it sees is "1". Replacing the string with "123,456" yields a value of 123.

(perhaps it's just not considered a fluke...) Does anyone know if this has
been addressed in 2.1? (I'm only using the 2.1 interpreter, I haven't
copied the 2.1 include files into my working directory yet.)

Quite nasty bug!

I wonder why it ain't catched as GET_FAIL?

If s="{1,234}" it does correctly identify the 2 elemet sequence.
