Quest Globals broken

[Dymerius]

Since I began using the latest build I've been having a problem with quest globals.

Here is a quick example:

sub EVENT_SAY{

if($text=~/hail/i && $aflag == ""){
quest::setglobal("aflag", 1, 5, "F");
quest::say("Now Flagged.");}

if($text=~/hail/i && $aflag == 1){
quest::say("You are already flagged.");}

}

In this case, "aflag" will be put into the quest_globals table like it should, but the second If will never execute - the first If executes every time.

Again, these are quest globals that all work with previous builds.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance,
