This is a bug, thanks for the report (the tok.next() call must be
moved to the very end of the length_macro() function).  I've fixed it
in my local copy, and I will commit it to the CVS as soon as the
ffii.org host has been resurrected (which will take a few days due to
a crash of two harddisks).

Note that address@hidden doesn't work either.
