Hi all,

I seem to have triggered a nasty bug in Maple 17.  Consider the following code:

  BlahObject := module()
    option object;
    export BlahMethod := proc()
    local C, d, i;
      add(C[i]*d[i] + C[i], i=1..4);
    return NULL;
    end proc;
  end module;

It triggers a Maple kernel crash for me when doing object construction:

 B := Object(BlahObject);

The offending line is the one with add( ). It is ok if I add C[i]*d[i], but when the line contains both * and + it causes kernel death every time.  This is strange as the proc is not even being executed... only constructing the object. 

I am running Maple 17.02, it's also present in 17.01.  But interestingly, it runs fine in Maple 16.  Bug in Maple 17? 

Thanks,
Ian.
