[metapost] Bug in metapost 1.203 ?

[Christophe Poulain]

Hi,

i've tried this with metapost 1.203

%-%-%-%-%
beginfig(1);
label(btex Dur\'ee etex,cm*(1,1));
endfig;
end
%-%-%-%-

no problem.

But with this

%-%-%-%-%-
verbatimtex
%&latex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
\begin{document}
etex

beginfig(1);
label(btex Dur\'ee etex,cm*(1,1));
endfig;
end
%-%-%-%-%-%

there's no compilation : she isn't stop !

I use Linux+Debian Lenny+TexLive.

Thanks
Christophe Poulain.
