Yes, I'm suspecting something like that very strongly now. Albrecht
seems to have ':' always getting results of length 15 or 17, whereas
yours may be - er - longer... 

Everything seems to be explained by a miscomputation of n in the seq()
C function. If more or less random items are getting in there, it is
not all that strange that you and Albrecht are not getting exactly the
same type of trouble.

The next thing would be to scrutinize the seq  and asReal functions.
