Not all that subtle, but easy to do. What surprises
me is that Joe's mistake did not cause an error
message. When I try Joe's function, I get
Signaling: (void-variable list-of-squares)
Ie., the function does not even execute successfully.
I suspect that Joe had also created an instance of
list-of-squares at top level and its value is the one
being returned.
Joe, I think you could have easily resolved your
symptom had you tried stepping through the code with
edebug. edebug is your friend! :)

David V.
