[Rivet] Fwd: It's a rivet bug ... 90% sure

[Andy Buckley]

FYI, seems that we still have an underscore plotting issue... we need to 
fix that before 1.7.0. I've not tested to reproduce it yet, though.

I'm now 90% sure its a rivet bug ...

At first I thought the problem was that Rivet didn't like the aida
file to have the name [ANALYSIS].aida ... but I disproved that by
checking I could rename other analyses' aida files without problem.

What I have now found, is that the problem seems only to occur when I
rename the aida file to have an underscore "_" in it.

So:

	rivet-mkhtml Rivet.aida      ; # Works!

	cp Rivet.aida Moo.aida
	rivet-mkhtml Moo.aia      ; # Works!

	cp Rivet.aida Moo_moo.aida
	rivet-mkhtml Moo_moo.aia      ; # Fails!

	#(blank plots)

I hope that helps.

Anyway, for the moment I now have a work around ...
