Okay, thanks for this and your enlightening further comments. I've never touched Ruby, but I feel all right with Python :) At the same time, I remember having this kind of weird behavior (I mean, one variable unexpectedly written) when that variable has been (unexpectedly) released, and its space is reused by some other variable.
