Sorry, due to family events I have not too much time to make better report but
perhaps somebody could make shorter example of it or investigate it more. Here
is source code:

// START
  #include "iso_bchars.inc"
  #local O=IC_Object(IC_BText("ISO-CSG Library",1,0));
// END

It uses library http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~y0013390/pov/ic/.
Inside IC_Object it reports error: 

  object { _ICSG_Ob <----ERROR
  Parse Error: Expected 'object', object identifier found instead

I tried to modify IC_BText() macro to return object in different ways: prepare
in local variable and return identifier, prepare direct union{}, merge{}. It
not worked. Once parser even crashed. Any confirmation ? In my opinion the
problem is that internally IC_BText macro also calls IC_Object.

ABX
