grid=true doesn't compile

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Take any of the examples, and set grid=true
2. Try to compile with pdflatex or latexmk

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Compile works. Poster is re-generated with grid. Instead, I get the following 
error:

! Incomplete \ifx; all text was ignored after line 632.
<inserted text> 
                \fi 
<*> poster_landscape.tex

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

* Current version, yesterday, 29 September 2011
* TexLive 2011

I tried to compile the branch-and-bound poster and the code poster with 
grid=true, and both worked flawlessly. Can you provide more information, e.g. 
the log and the source code? A minimal example would be best, of course.

Hmmmm. It worked in the MWE, and now it works in my project too.

But I have a tiny MWE where I have removed *everything* from examples/code, and 
the bug is there. I attach the TeX and log file.

This examples works with 

pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian) (format=pdflatex 
2011.9.14)

from Ubuntu 11.04. It seems that oneiric will also ship a 2009 texlive, so if 
anyone with a 2011 texlive can find out what causes this bug, that would be 
very interesting.

Also, Ken, are you sure that you deleted all the aux files because sometimes an 
out of date aux file can be misleading.

Yes the directory contains .tex and baposter.cls and nothing else.

I just figured something else out. The MWE attached above, it does compile if 
grid=true and columns=X is explicitly defined. If you do not define columns, 
going with default, then it crashes.

I have a same issue when I set grid=true. I used Miktex 2.9 64bit in Windows. I 
attach tex file and log here to provide more information.
