Hi Guille, I'm just back from vacation last week, and about to go on vacation for another week, but I'll see what I can see. About the primitive pragmas for context-marking, I think some of those were changed for the exception handling fix that Andres and I did a few years back, so *could* be involved in this. I'd hate to see regression in the exception handling in an attempt to fix this bug. Regards, -Martin
