Dear Joseph,

my linux Version gives a much more better error statement.

distancesT = segmentT*(1d+Dindgen(numAll1Rets-2))
^
% Syntax error.

print,1e+dindgen(10)

gives the same syntax error.

I could not decide what is more wrong to set an exponent by a function
or to ignore exponents settings for double numbers by d.

I believe it is no bug but I agree that's the error statement you got
isn't very helpful.

regards

Reimar
