they almost certainly do. it's an 0.84 bug. at that time, responsibility
for copying lists was shifting around. i fixed the problems soon after
0.84 was released:
; fn-a = echo a
; b = <={$&whatis a} b
; echo $fn-a
echo a
;
i thought that this change had made it into 0.84, but i guess not.
for now, if you want a quick fix, have the nCall operation in glom.c
do a listcopy() of the value it assigns to list before breaking.
