I that from real code or what are you posting?

Funny indentation. That's not how it really looks, right?

I doesn't look like you are posting actual code or
verbatim lines from an interactive session.

Since you can interactively walk through suspicious code one statement at
a time and look at the results, why don't you do that? Then if it isn't
obvious, post a verbatim copy of the failing interaction.

You can copy from the windows console window by Alt-SpaceBar>E>K then select the text block
with the mouse by pressing with the left mouse button with the cursor on the first character
and keeping the left button pressed while moving the cursor to the bottom right to make a block
that encloses what you want, and then pressing Enter. That will put it in the clipboard.
Then paste into your news reader message editor.

HTH!
