Re: trouble with bind. (fwd)

[Zhenhai Duan <duan@cs.umn.edu>]

The message "http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/dist/archive/ns-users/9808/"
(with the same title) explains the problem.

There is something waird if (c++) class A contains a class B varible which
has a bind inside. Please read the expoo.cc code and simply add in another
ExpoentialRandomVariable variable. Without initialization value, you will
note the problem.
