Some variables appear as having circular dependency when that's not true #346

I'll work on a reproducible example (I've seen this many times).

I can't reproduce it now, but once I can I'll add an example.

If we have a region called boxinside (diffusion example), this command reproduces the error: variable myCount equal count(boxinside)

Edit: turns out it isn't that simple. The problem was a character we couldn't see...

The problem occurs if the variable is invalid (invalid expression etc), and we catch a general exception which normally should go all the way back to the LAMMPSController exception handler.
