<div dir="ltr">I'm one of the ones experiencing the problem. Unfortunately I haven't been able to reliably reproduce it. All I can say is that it only happens after loading a grammar that has already been loaded. Which makes me wonder if it's something some kind of cruft floating around that isn't being cleaned up somehow. It also seems to happen in concentrated amounts, then disappear for a while, so maybe something about certain grammar states. If I encounter concentration of errors I will try to see if I can work out how to replicate it.<div>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
Several students in 567 this quarter are intermittently getting<br>
the following error when loading their grammars:<br>
<br>
Error: Entered a nested unification context - should not happen<br>
<br>
Any idea what this is?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
