That's pretty nasty! Good detective work.
Here's another nasty one that I discovered about a year ago. Run this
from the QB environment, and everything looks good. Now compile it
and see what happens!
DEFINT A-Z
DECLARE SUB sub1 (a, b, c, d)
a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
d = 4
CALL sub1(a, b, c, d)
SUB sub1 (a, b, c, d)
PRINT a, b, c, d
PRINT a, b, c, d
PRINT a, b, c, d
PRINT a, b, c, d
END SUB
