[chuck-users] severe ChucK v1.3.0.0 bug

[Robin Haberkorn]

try that one:

fun void foo(string s)
{
	<<< s >>>;
}

"bar" => string s;

while (true)
	s => foo;

It's not only affecting string constants as I first suspected. This
breaks a lot of my functions where one variable is passed to another
function multiple times.
I assume that the string value reference is released on foo() return but
not increased when passing it to foo().

Could you drop a note when the fix hits SVN so I can import it into my
ChucK Git repository?

cheers,
Robin
