The answer, then, is "I don't know". The text handed off to the read/process loop is exactly what you see above, modulo I added the comment. Since an entire s-expression is read before processing, there cannot have been a left-open s-expression from another call to ag_scm_eval_expression_from_file_line. I'd have choked there. I tried it twice last night and it failed this way both times. I just retried it and it worked correctly. It is an inexplicable transient error. An irreproducible result. Thank you! Cheers - Bruce
