Reason for the failure: / by zero

boskovuk wrote on Thu Oct  5 19:34:49 MEST 2006:

This is my environment: 
Windows XP 
Eclipse 3.2.1
EPIC 0.4.11 
ActivePerl 5.8.8 

My EPIC environment was functioning well until yesterday. 

That is when I started to get the following error, whenever a file (that
is associated with Perl) is open:
Unable to create this part due to an internal error. Reason for the failure:
/ by zero

All other files open fine.

I have found few discussions on this forum that looked similar to my problem.
However, I could not conclude anything that would help me at the moment.

Help appreciated ...

This is a bug. As a workaround, set "Insert tabs/spaces on indent" to a
non-zero value in EPIC Preferences, on the Editor/Appearance tab.
