problem with merged index entries

[Thorsten Seitz]

Hi,

I've got a problem with merged index entries: the merging simply does not 
happen.

The following test file reproduces the problem (I'm using lout 3.24):

@SysInclude { book }

@Book
//
@Chapter
        @Title { Index-Test }
@Begin
test
test @Index Test
@NP
test
test @Index Test
@End @Chapter

The resulting index entry is just "Test, 1" instead of the expected "Test, 1, 
2".

Commenting out the first "test @Index Test" results in an index entry of 
"Test, 2", just as expected.

The curious thing is that @Common, @Rump and @Meld do work as described with 
literals, but in the @Merge command (in @DoIndex in file dsf) the result of 
{x @Rump y} is always "", even though x seems to be "Test, 1" and y seems to 
be "Test, 2". {{Test, 1} @Rump {Test, 2}} and {{Test &"0.03fu" , 1} @Rump 
{Test &"0.03fu" , 2}} both give the expected result of "2".

Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Thorsten
