    Hi Paul & all,

Thanks for the detailed report.

Now I can see the problem. It is, in fact, not related to parent/child EC=
 in particular, but to a more general problem, as described at:
http://modeling.sourceforge.net/UserGuide/framework-integration-sessionin=
g-ec.html

Just after 0.9 I posted a first patch partially correcting the problem, s=
ee the post here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.modeling/374/focus=3D374

I'll have some time next week-end to test it in your configuration; if yo=
u find some time in the meantime to test it I'll be glad to read your exp=
erience :) =20

Thanks again for the report, and hopefully the patch will be tested enoug=
h to be integrated into the framework soon.

    Cheers,

-- S=E9bastien.
