I'm afraid that region has been unused for quite a time now.
Since we don't currently have a regression test for that as well it has been
untested as well.

so...

I would suggest you write a possible standalone test which exhibits your issue
Then I'll help you to:

1) Add this test to our HLA_TestSuite
    http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/applications/HLA_TestsSuite/?root=certi

2) Investigate and solve the issue with you.

I'll check may be this is an error in the CERTI fed parser grammar.

Like I said smallest standalone C++ test case would be a very good start.
