[Exist-open] XQuery - strange behavior with "let"

[<sp...@so...>]

I have downloaded the latest snapshot (2003/12/16), and some old
XQueries don't work anymore.

I think there is a problem with the XQuery compiler and the let
expression.

When I send the following XQuery :

for $a in (/document)
let $title:=$a/title/text()
where contains($title,"term")
return <result>{($title)}</result>

No results are returned. Although, I get results as expected when I send
the following query :

for $a in (/document)
where contains($a/title/text(),"term")
return <result>{($title)}</result>

Moreover, the debug logs look like there is an extra "return" statement
just before the "let" :

DEBUG (RpcConnection.java [doQuery]:181) - generated AST:  ( return (
for ( a ( Parenthesized ( AbsoluteSlash document ) ) ) ) (
let ( title ( / ( / a title ) text ) ) ) where ( contains title term ) (
result ( { ( Parenthesized title ) ) ) )

INFO  (RpcConnection.java [doQuery]:188) - compiled: (for a in
((ROOT/child::document)) return let title :=
($a/child::title/child::text()) where (contains(#atomize(($title)) cast
as xs:string cast as xs:string treat as xs:string,(term))) return
(<result>({(($title))})</result>))

Is anyone experiencing the same problem ?

Thanks.

Sebastien.
