What were you trying to do?
I was doing a 6.001 problem set on athena first in the last version
and then in version 7.0. I was trying to execute procedures that
contained print and princ statements. ex. (print 'found-it!!!)
What's wrong:
What happened was that on occasion I would receive an error
message: Unbounded variable princ OR
Unbounded variable print
In the older version it would only happen after I saved the buffer
in which I was working. Before I saved it it worked fine. Once I
got the error message, it would appear every time. ^c^c and ^cg did
nothing to help. In version 7.0 I would still get the error at random
times; however, ^c^c would cure the error for a little while.
Sometimes I would have to type ^c^c twice, once after the first
attempt at execution, then again after the error appeared for
the second time after execution. After the ^c^c, the execution
was completed with no errors and the print and princ statements
being executed correctly.
What should have happened:
Basically it should have printed a variable value in one case
and a statement in the other case.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I dont know.
