Lorien,

I think I understand the problem, and it may have in fact already been fixed
in the development sources (what will be released as SWIG 1.3.12). But to be
certain, could you please send me an sample interface file (and any
supporting files) to demonstrate the problem? It doesn't need to be the
actual code you're working with, just a quickie that shows the same bug
you're seeing.

Thanks in advance,

Lyle
