+1 ;)

what i run into is porting old code and trying to possbly also make it 
multi-platform... the biggest gotcha we've run into is those typed constants 
that are used to hold values between executions of a routine... those should be 
initialized to a zero/empty value before first execution but then retain their 
values afterward...
