Is this a FileMaker issue? A Jaguar issue? An AppleScript issue? The same

Any thoughts? Thanks!
I'm "glad" more and more people run into this. It's a bug ('whose' clauses
are the problem) in FM for nearly one year (all OS X FM releases). So far,
Filemaker has ignored this problem. Please report here (the more people do
the better the chance to get a fix):
