If I may, here is what I think happened (based on our continuous experience
and Helmut having hard time reproducing it). You had troubles, you removed
quotes, perhaps also fixed the issue without knowing it. All was fine. Then
started to use expressions with && and || which were failing without
quotes. More complicated expressions like those with nested ifs were
failing too. Those were failing perhaps because there was forgotten space
here and there which can happen because they are long/complex and the
console in GUI is not in monospaced font* so spaces are quite narrow and
can blur with the surrounding characters.

* Which is probably a bug.

I'm sorry for the monospace and quotes bugs which were certainly not
helping you, but my current assessment is that these are only the two bugs
involved here. But of course we want r.mapcalc to be rock solid, so please
test & report more if you think it's needed.

Anything is possible and our continuous successful use is with English
locale, but my guess is that that's not the case.
