I agree, I still think the total latex + rubber behaviour is somewhat strange in this case, but I understand that it is more a peculiarity than a bug. > This is really strange, I made rubber return meaningful exit codes a long time > ago.

I must have made some mistake last time I checked, though I don't know how. Now I know that rubber returns a good error code I can easily modify the builder to clean up in case of errors. So both bugs can be closed IMHO and thanks for all the help/explanation from both of you. Greetings, Bas Kloet -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
