Since a pic is worth 1000 words, i did the pic:

I don't know if it matters, but the length of string assigned to junk is 584.

Is this with 4.0.3?

That's pretty old. I tried tracing some stuff with 4.0.3, and couldn't replicate this sort of thing.

That's nothing, if i move the same code around, or change the variable names, i can't replicate it either. This doesn't mean there is no problem however. It's an unfixable (apparently) type of problem that's happened since the late 1990's.

Can you provide some code that reproduces this effect? I've been browsing the debugger code, and don't see anything obvious, which is probably what I'd expect. That part of the code base is probably the least familiar to me, so I'm mostly getting acquainted with it, and nothing is jumping out at me.
The parts of the code where I'd expect the problem to be don't appear to have changed for a long time, so I'd guess that the problem still exists in 4.0.3 and later.

Sorry, i needed code that worked asap, i took the screen shot and then made the code look proper when tracing before i even uploaded the pic and posted here. I'd have saved it if i had any clue you'd considered it, or me, useful.

Been there.

I consider bug reports, regardless of source, useful. I've never considered you useless, except as relates to your nick.
I do wonder if it actually mattered to you if it was fixed, given that you're using a nearly year old release. Lots and lots of stuff has been fixed since then.

I've seen this issue before, I was never entirely sure what the cause was and never fixed it but I wrote a workaround a long time ago (the EUCONS stuff). But then someone rewrote that stuff (I seem to remember Derek's name) and the EUCONS workaround stopped working.
(The issue is pretty obscure - before seeing this no one had ever managed to reproduce the issue that I was seeing before - which is probably why the rewrite broke my workaround.)
Fortunately, the bug is limited to the Windows platform only. (However, the Mingw platform does have this bug.)

1) Most often, upgrades break things, and i have 10 computers running code 24-7 that i don't want to shut down and try and restart.
2) i have not seen mention of a new release for windows since v40b4-3412, installed Wednesday, November 03, 2010, 3:05:33 PM, which is what i am using. It's all i know about.
As for if it mattered to me, i am accustomed to adding a comment line above the problem to "fix" the error, i've been doing that for many years. This time i mentioned it because it was one of the more spectacular amounts of scrambled text. And it doesn't matter if it matters to me. You being even slightly aggressive or admonishing to me causes me to be sorry i ever mentioned it.

It sounds like you've been making an effort to ignore them, then. Carry on.

Yeah, I know, it's all my fault. I guess I shouldn't worry, since even if I fixed it, you wouldn't notice or probably even want to run the newer version.

Thanks, got it. And the help files.
