A term "severe" (for me) means that it will not produce output at all,
but an error message. And specifically so if such behaviour is in a basic

For me it was easy to trigger. The intended task is a simple one. YMMV.

The workaround you suggested did not work for me; but - considering your
other post about time waste - I will not bother you or the newsgroup with
it. Now that I know it's a bug (thanks again!) I'll apply my own workarounds.
