Hi Sebastian, Yann, all

apologies for my previous misunderstanding.

I hope I now understood the problem and I tried to fix it with the
attached patch.  Could you please test the patch if it fixes the problem
you noticed?

Another problem that I noticed is that if a choice is set to 'y', then
I think the choice list should not include symbols that depend on
symbols set to 'm', because they cannot be chosen, anyway.  Well, this
is rather confusing but does not produce real errors; I will see if I
can fix that, too.

Yann, if you could have a look at and comment on my patch, I would be
glad.

Dirk
