And what happens when: same? b b/2 is done? This: REBOL caused a stack fault in module REBOL.EXE at 015f:00435703. Registers: EAX=00c04838 CS=015f EIP=00435703 EFLGS=00010297 EBX=0073db2f SS=0167 ESP=005a2000 EBP=005a202c ECX=00000013 DS=0167 ESI=00c04838 FS=4387 EDX=0000002f ES=0167 EDI=00c04838 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 56 57 8b 70 08 8b 40 04 c1 e6 04 03 70 08 8b 44 Stack dump: 004355b4 00c04838 00c04838 00000000 00c04838 00c04838 0073db2f 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 005a2074 0043574a 00c04838 00c04838 00000000 Is this a bug? I've send it to feedback, just in case. Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://members.nbci.com/AndrewMartin/

I just wonder, when if ever will such bugs be resolved? They are so essential. It seems to me that rebol's aproach "everything's-a-reference" gets pretty complicated sometimes and that it's hard to keep concepts clean sometimes. It's strange to see notes as Elan's in his book about 2.2 and above unstable behavior of extended contexts. I am just curious if GC bugs reported were resolved .... ... still missing bug database presence on some place ... -pekr-

Part of my definition of "high-level language" is the clause, "and if you do something it doesn't like (regardless of how dumb or obscure it MIGHT be), it won't blow up in your face". By that definition, at least, this is a bug. Nicht Wahr? -jn-
