Thanks, komame! When email to Moravia was greeted with silence, I realized the low likelihood. But I think reporting is worthwhile so that a complete bug list exists. Maybe all the world suddenly wants Primes and money starts rolling in. :-)

I originally used the %e format to maintain proper number of significant figures in the app variable. However, it's easiest to avoid this bug by simply using %f. E.g.,

Code:

cmd='AVars("loss_dB"):=%f' % loss_dB)
h.eval(cmd)
