<p class="MsoNormal">I might already have found the specific cause.<br>
<br>
It seems with split sections we generate a dummy CmmProc, which has as entry label
<br>
> error (split_sections_entry)<br>
<br>
My patch likely introduces strictness on that field where it was lazy before.<br>
If this is the cause I expect to have a patch up in a hour or two and will merge<br>
it after it validates.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
