hm,  "100, 200 50 0.5" is not one message but actually two, separated  
by a comma.
shot in the dark: check the message box helpfile and read about max  
and commas,
or post a patch, so we can have a look at where things might go wrong.

it's a little tricky to generate messages with commas in max. but  
it's easy to avoid.
"100, 200 50 0.5" is the same as "100 0 0 200 50 0.5"
