"Nasty" bug

I came across a couple of posts on the sourceforge mailing list which refers to a bug in 3.1.1 (which was apparently also present in 4.06), but haven't been able to find the code which generated it. Here are the posts :
Wow. You found a really nasty bug in Euphoria 3.1.1. I tried this on 4.0.6 on Linux and it behaves the same way both interpreted and compiled! I tried tracing through this program with trace(1). The global gets updated in the sub routine but then it reverts to its old value when it comes out.
Using gdb on the compiled version is what I would try next.

for just about anything, and to be honest, I usually still use 3.1.1 mainly
cos Rob's stuff is always rock solid. However....
Can anyone tell me how this isn't a serious critter right in the middle of
EU's sequence handling?
Behavior is the same in exe/exw/exwc 311 and eui 405.
Been beating my head against a brick wall for 2 days and was stunned at
what I found... more amazed that I've never noticed it before in 10 jillion
hours of using eu.
comments?

Anyone remember this? it was posted in 2016. It would be nice to know how to avoid this bug...
