[Jprogramming] Bug in J6???

[Raul Miller]

It's hard to visualize what is happening here.  It's possible, for
example, that you have shadow definitions (this can happen if you are
using =. in the definition -- then the script will not overwrite any
existing definition).

There could be other issues also.  It's really hard to isolate a
problem when we cannot inspect it for ourselves.

Thanks,
