Hi,
unfortunately I couldn't make use of Mozart 1.4 because when I use main.exe
the application blocks completely sending a bug report when the warning is
supposed to appear (since it only appears when using main.exe) and using
./main gives no result at all, the application blocks (I suppose because
Mozart 1.4, distibuted programming and Windows don't go well together even
though I used the patch).
So I guess I will have to find the problem on my own but if you have any
suggestions please feel free to share them with me.

Thanks.
