This sounds very strange. What exactly do you mean by "newName is
printed wrong"? Do you mean that somehow it's getting affected by the
*subsequent* rename()? That would be truly strange. Or do you mean
that newName doesn't match what you expect Recompute to do given d.name?
Perhaps you should also print out d.name along with newName just to be
sure?
Do you have a reduced code example that's compilable/runnable? It's
rather hard to tell what's wrong based on your incomplete snippet.
