Description ab 2007-03-16 08:34:20 UTC 
If an array has another array as element, VB allows to use more 
than one array index to access elements of this sub array:

Sub Main
    Dim a(0)
    Dim b(0)
    b(0) = "b"
    a(0) = b
    MsgBox a(0)(0)
End Sub

This should also be supported by OOo Basic.

This problem may be related to i43838 that also deals
with an array indexing problem.

You can create your own dump file by uncommenting the dump call at the
end of main() and changing the file name in the sub dump().

The OOo output will differ in two lines:
- ln 3: b(0)(0) =  43 instead of 42 in vba.
  This is caused by a different copying mechanism for arrays (by ref
  instead of by value in VBA), but this problem is not handled here
- ln 8: Only existing in OOo output as the corresponding code is not
  valid in VBA. In general wrong code being accepted is no problem,
  so this also is not handled here.
