Maybe. At least, I'm unable to tangle and execute your code since a couple = of hours (this noon, CET). I've git pulled right now.

Of course, I guess you did not have time yet fixing that, if I can make the assumption you're responsible of the change in tangle behavior. > I've taken your excerpt and changed it so that it was tangling successful= ly > on my system.

I tried to keep the post as small as possible, knowing that the other blocks could be find back in the previous post. Not smart from me, it seems. > The following does work on my system.

The subject of your letter seems right: tangling is broken; at least on my = PC. So I don't understand why it works for you...
