"Request Deallocation" breaks "Current Path" constant in LV8

[njg]

When a subVI includes the "request deallocation" block and the "current path" constant, and is called multiple times from another VI, only the first call will yield the subVI's path - subsequent calls return an empty path.  Attached is an example.  Note that the error only occurs when request deallocation is true.  This error is unique to LabVIEW 8.0... the same process under 7.1 worked fine.

Hello,

This problem has been reported to LabVIEW R&D.  For now, the workaround is to remove the Request Deallocation function, or set its input to False.

This was reported to R&D (# 3SRIE1SG) and was fixed in LabVIEW 8.2. Here is a link to the current evaluation software download for LabVIEW.

Thanks!
