Hi,
Really bad things happen if the variable name in metapost contains an 
underscore. It took me quite a while to isolate this problem.
This is getting weirder. The bug is triggered even for the following 
example:

\startMPpage
   rboxit.A (textext("A")) ;
   rboxit.B1 (textext("B")) ;
   rboxit.B2 (textext("C")) ;

   A.c = origin ;

   xpart B1.c = xpart B2.c = xpart A.c + 3cm ;
   ypart B1.s - ypart B2.n = 1cm ;

   drawboxed(A,B1,B2) ;
\stopMPpage

but disappears if I replace B1 with Ba and B2 with Bb!
