It used to be

on prePreOpenStack
   local prefsDir, prefsFilNam, newPrefsDb, prTabNams
   local dcmd, theData, vtb

...
   put "SELECT pref, pval FROM prefs" into dcmd
   put revDataFromQuery(tab,vtb,prefsDb,dcmd) into prAry
   split prAry by vtb and tab


It threw no error loading prAry, and it turned into the correct array.

Single step into the calling handler, and prAry and the global prAry was
gone.

Strict compilation was set in the preferences; I checked.  I can't use
explicit variables without a significant code rewrite, as "long name"
produces a result that is incompatible with, well, livecode.

I added "global prAry" after the local declarations, and everything worked
fine (which also shows that prAry wasn't declared somewhere else [unless
there is something even *worse* going on! :)])

It was similar in the other instance (actually, I think it was allowing
prefsDb to be set localy even though it wasn't declared)
