Sorry, I missed following up on this thread. The list functions, and
the
higher-order functions, all destroy any list given as an argument if
that
list is not assigned to a variable already. This is necessary to
allow the
output of one function call to be immediately used by another without
wasting
memory all over the place.

It is entirely possible that I left list.sav out. The list object
calling
list_simp is probably left over from an earlier version. Personally,
I use
the bare list functions for speed, not the list object.

I'll look into building 64-bit versions of the DLMs but this week
seems like
it will be busy. The 32-bit versions should work on 64-bit machines.
