Both of these problems have been reported before, here.
However, Jim hasn't been subscribed, ``back then''.

Ross has found (about 6 weeks ago...) that problem '1.'
is simply a  "cut & paste" typo in  RHOME/main/names.c
(old code has been doubled by accident).

Here is the patch which just deletes about a dozen lines in  names.c
