You are right: the case was not in Jos's definition, because existential 
quantifiers were completely removed. But they were added back in the 
bottom-up definition, to ease the extension to PRD...

I added the clause that "v is safe in an existential formula, Exists 
v1...vn (f), iff it is safe in f."

Nothing. I thought that I had removed it already :-( Now, it *is* removed, 
anyway.

Cheers,

Christian
