  MegaPOV can't do arithmetic?

This seems rather strange, to say the least.  Under MP 0.7, any
expression involving addition, multiplication, subtraction, or division
bails out with the error message:
error: object or directive expected but * found instead.
or
error: no matching } in object, * found instead.

Some example lines which produce this error:
#declare foo = 1*2;
#declare bar = 1+2;
plane{y,0 translate y/2}
sphere{0,0 scale <1,1,1>-2}

I hope I'm not going insane, here.  This is happening under Windows as
well as PvMegaPOV under Linux.  Can anyone else confirm this bug?
