Unfortunately I seem not to reproduce your problem with neither
mcstas-1.8 or the current CVS build. Tests done on Ubuntu GNU/Linux
(Debian).

Could you perhaps include some more specifics about your machine
environment and your instrument?

I have written two extremly simple instrument files that work fine here,
see attached.
