Cubist's first bug report

[Dar Scott]

Very good test!

I mentioned in crossed email that I suspect reevaluation.  Since the problem shows up with item and not array subscripts, I would suspect the reevaluation is done to avoid some problem.  Even so, the item number should be computed once and saved even if the character location in the string is recomputed.
