Maybe an error like this kills >everything that's supposed to be displayed further down the page, >including error messages?The error message gets stuffed into the [math] context, which can't understand all that human-readable text. Currently the math context just bails with no output whatsoever if there's an error. I guess it should display something, but I was trying to get sneaky in those cases where people divide by zero (or something else equally bad): I thought it would be better to display nothing at all, so your web pages wouldn't fill up with weird stuff your visitors don't want to read.
