No problem; I didn't mean to accuse you of anything, just pointing  
out where the trouble creeped in.

Do you have a sense of how many sites are using the parser-based  
versions of num_cmp versus the traditional versions?  This error will  
affect any problem that uses strings and has a string-valued answer,  
so could potentially cause problems for a lot of people if they are  
using the old answer macros.  (This was in the 2.1.3 release, wasn't  
it?)  Do they need to be informed?
