Strange hang

[Robert Sneidar]

Perhaps the enhancement has been implemented now. I am a bit vague on it now, but it seems to me that it also involved passing by reference. So if pNum were @pNum in your parameter declaration, maybe that was the problem. I think also the discussion was about passing as a reference a variable that was itself an array, so that in your function pNum was pNum[1], pnum[2] etc.
