Yes, I got an error message.  Here is the info.

As for using the new source files, once I compiled with them, I was unable
to open the test plan file I had been using.  There is an error stating that
it has a problem loading part of the file.  So, I went to recreate the test
by hand, but I could not find the Modifier Controller under the Logic
Controller or under the Listener, so I was unable to recreate my test.

Did you get an error message?  I don't get this, so I'm interested.

Also, there are brand new source files you can try that are working better
for me than anything else.  When you build, do like so:

build install -Dsources.src.dir=src_1

(do a "build clean" first, however).

If this behaves differently after building with the new sources (other than
the many feature enhancements, I mean :-), I'd like to know.

OK, I got the May 21 build and got it set up and used the same test that I
created in the release build.  The form does have the NAMEID as a blank
value that gets filled in after the first POST.  What happens now is that
after JMeter runs through and does that first POST, it stops and I never see
any results with it trying to do the second POST.  It seems that it stops in
the Link Parser or such.  Is this a bug in the nightly build?

You appear to be doing it correctly.  The most common reason people don't
get the results 
they expect is that the page containing the form with the hidden value
doesn't quite match up 
with their next request.  JMeter tries to match all your arguments, and the
path, and the 
domain, to a form on the previous page (not just your argument with a value
of '.*').

Also, in the release, there's a bug that will break this if your form
contains input text fields that 
are blank, but your request fills in values.  This has been fixed in the
nightly tarballs.
