Yes. I guess I should have noticed that. One of the changes in 1.3 is
that you access structures with uint instead of ubyte (as in 1.2) while
accessing arrays is still with longs. The type of the index in both
releases is used to disambiguate between structure and array accesses.
So, for your 1.2 release, please make sure to use long for arrays and
ubyte for structures. When you move to CVS head or 1.3 release (when it
happens), you'll need to use uint to index structures.

See bug 82 for more details:
