I don't care about the reasons for the errors, as I don't really wanted
to reproduce Antoine's solution. Instead I wanted to point Antoine to a
solution which makes looping across graphs unnecessary. My first
sentence was meant as an excuse that my example graph might look a bit
different to Antoine's. 

Besides that, yes, I think the errors could have been caused by line
breaks.
