Description

I have used the following construct:

return values[m[0][1]] = m[0][3] as BigDecimal

Up until 1.5.1 this returns the value. With 1.5.2-Snapshot it returns null.

The following

values[m[0][1]] = m[0][3] as BigDecimal
return values[m[0][1]]

works as expected.

The test case is part of the book examples, so don't ask for practical use
