st: graph twoway option by() dose not allow variable with a comma in the value labels

Hello everybody,
I just came across a problem while using the twoway option by().
When the value labels of the variable in by() has a comma the graph
can not be plotted.
This little example reproduces the error:
************ Begin example *************
sysuse auto, clear
* Define a label with a comma in the label value.
label define lbl_foreign 0 "Domestic, i.e. Made in USA" 1 "Foreign"
label values foreign lbl_foreign
tw (scatter mpg price) (lfit mpg price), by(foreign)
************ End example *************
Just as I was preparing this example I found out that this problem seems to be
related to the operating system in use.
There is no problem using Windows, but I get an error message when I do the same
commands on the UNIX Server...
Dose anyone has an explanation? Or is this a question for the Stata Technical Services?
Best
Oliver
