This reminds me of problems reported by Radu
Ban on 14 November and indeed by many others
on many other occasions. I don't know
whether using -for- is part or all of this
problem, but it could well be.
My strong advice is: don't use -for- for
tasks of this complexity. Use -foreach-
and/or -forvalues-.
