I get an Unhandled Memory Exception Error on the following line in Reflection.bmx (line 264):

meta=" "+meta+" "

Where, according to the debugger, meta is an empty string.

This only happens in debug mode and only under very specific conditions. I couldn't produce a short code example, but running the test file in the following zip should do (requires bah.libxml):

Changing the (unrelated) meta key as mentioned in the comment removes the problem as does disabling debug mode.

I used BlitzMax release 1.28 on WinXP.
