The set I had in my earlier experiment [1] (in Dutch, but the commands 
and output should be clear). This gives the same error. As said this was 
one of the experiments which at least showed something happening :-)

Thanks for confirming. I indeed ignored all the ma0 and ma1 references. 
Unfortunately it didn't work. Someone suggested that I compile the 
newest version and that is my next experiment. I hope that it works, 
because compiling usually opens another can of worms :-)
