Jurai,
        yes, it's possible that the change of evaluation date at midnight
breaks the calculation. As a workaround, you can set it at the beginning
of your calculations so that it doesn't change---I don't remember the
interface of the C# bindings, but the syntax in C++ would be

Settings::instance().evaluationDate() = Date::todaysDate();

Later,
