Rethinking what I said, possibly the compiler isn't able to parse the
"get item x of" when it can't resolve the rest of the expression to a
valid chunk at compile time. I don't know, but I've run into something
similar and had to break it into multiple statements in order to get
the script to compile. I haven't looked into that part of the engine
at all. It's a twisty little maze of passages, all different. I'm
likely to get eaten by a grue.

For some reason, I got this only directly, not from the list. That's
weird as well. Actually, I now notice that I haven't gotten any
updates from the list in the last hour, and gmane shows new messages.
