That has fixed your problem? Could you try the loop within the debugger and see what results you get? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal? "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.	[reply]

It looks like the problem went away, yes. Unfortunately, I don't remember how to reproduce the original problem. If I run into it again I'll let you know. In the debugger I get: DB<2> print time . $/ for 1 .. 20;; 1118999589.19879 1118999589.2088 1118999589.2088 1118999589.21882 1118999589.21882 1118999589.22883 1118999589.23884 1118999589.23884 1118999589.24886 1118999589.24886 1118999589.25887 1118999589.26889 1118999589.26889 1118999589.2789 1118999589.2789 1118999589.28892 1118999589.29893 1118999589.30894 1118999589.30894 1118999589.31896	[reply]

This is weird! I consistantly get lo res results in the debugger? `DB<2> print time . $/ for 1 .. 20;; 1119000264.44888 1119000264.44888 1119000264.44888 1119000264.44888 1119000264.44888 1119000264.44888 1119000264.44888 1119000264.44888 1119000264.44888 1119000264.44888 1119000264.44888 1119000264.48013 1119000264.48013 1119000264.48013 1119000264.48013 1119000264.48013 1119000264.48013 1119000264.49575 1119000264.49575 1119000264.49575` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
