sysError List?

[Richard Gaskin]

I don't normally use LC Server because its syntax cannot be tested in 
the IDE, preferring to use standalones in server apps.

But I just downloaded LCS 8,.1.4 RC2, and running it from the command 
line with your sample script yields the expected valid path to my temp 
folder.

You may have found a Mac-specific bug worth reporting:
