A short story

I was reading tom's [rant] Simple, Small, Superbe.
Euphoria is a superb rapid development language. I have used it since the days of, maybe, 2.7...
Recently I assembled a new system for a customer and installed Euphoria as usual. Loaded some custom software I had written and discovered that the software which worked perfectly on my office system simply would not run on the new system. Aargh... After considerable trouble shooting I found the problem. I had, for an unknown reason, accidentally loaded 4.1 (64) instead of my usual 4.05 (32). I still don't know what the problem with 4.1 is. This time it seemed to have something to do with returns from procedures. It has many other problems. Example, I have never been able to get euc to work correctly under 4.1.
I guess the point of this rant is: If it doesn't work reliably then take it down.
