Same results in AS 5.24 under Win7x64.

Suspected problem might have arisen from lack of strict, warnings. Wrong, same results BUT using both remains a generally good idea.

Also wondered if compiling (with qr/.../) might change the outcome. Wrong again, albeit with variant (erroneous) output.

Correct me if I'm wrong, guessing that "strait" is a typo or personal shortening of "straight."

Update: Now that I've seen earlier replies... ouch, pounding forehead into brick wall!
