Re: atmost/3

Hi Tom,

When reporting problems, please tell us which version of ECLiPSe you are
using.  (Other information, such as operating system, etc. can also be
useful.)

Apparently ic_global:atmost/3 is buggy in 5.4 (the same problem affects
occurrences/3).  I had thought this bug was only present in the Summer
School release of ECLiPSe (a pre-5.5 version), but I was wrong.

It was fixed in the 5.5 development version shortly after the summer school;
you can download this fixed version from our web site.  We'll also look into
providing a fixed version of 5.4, but I can't tell you when that would be
available.

Cheers,
Warwick
