Is this stuff working with SVN HEAD?

I'm trying something like:
local msgbufferarray = buffer(ofs, plen):bytes() 
local temparray=ByteArray.new()
temparray.append(msgbufferarray:subset(0,plen))
  
But get the following error:
Lua Error: [string "/tmp/eris.lua"]:307: bad argument #2 to
'append' (userdata expected, got no value)

Thanks
