skiman,
do you have installed the patch from Alaska for the division by zero problem ?
This problem exist only on 64-bit Systems.

Hi,

Yes, this is installed. The error is almost everytime in an 'if ...' statement.
Best regards,

Klaus,

I suppose that the error would be the same. A str(nil) gives the same error.

I can't test this, because I can't reproduce the error. The error happens in code which is executed thousand times a day and is working in 99.999% of the time.
Best regards,

Chris.
