[Mesa-users] cv

I'm having a strange bug trying to extract the specific heats from the
profiles in MESA.

In my variables.list file for MESA I can include cp (constant pressure) but
not cv.  I even copied the line directly from the defaults file to be sure
I had it right (no special characters or anything).

When I comment it out, MESA runs fine and gives me c_p:
cp
!cv ! specific heat at constant volume

But when I uncomment that line I get this error:

failed to recognize item for profile columns: cv

I didn't see anything in the archives about this. Is there something
special about cv? Can I hack it using other thermodynamic quantities?
