For me, the prob also occurs with -vers 11- specified:
***
vers 11
sysuse auto, clear
browse foreign make if foreign
li foreign make if foreign
***
I hope I am overlooking something obvious...

Subject: Re: st: RE: Bug in Stata 11
Hi, Martin,
my original example involved the following condition: if length(make)>12
Since "if foreign" is a simplier condition and it still allows to see
the bug, I replaced the if-condition in the final posted code, but
apparently not everywhere.
Should be: count if foreign
22.
Best,
Sergiy Radyakin
