Jeremy Thanks for sending the program. Indeed, it turns out that 5.02.1 has a rarely-occurring bug in the demand analyer. (My fault, I am sad to say.)
We've fixed the bug, but won't put out a new release until we've accumulated a few more. Meanwhile, I gather that it's not getting in your way, because small changes in the code make it go away, right?
