The point is that the top-level series "e" which is passed as a pointer arg to the function (factcoint_test) gets a spurious and more or less arbitrary description string, sometimes including non-printable characters. Actually sometimes the correct description happens; in that case please just run the script again. To trigger the bug it seems necessary to have an enclosing loop.

Confirmed with current git, with a twist.

If you store the output of the getinfo() function to a named variable, as in

foo = getinfo(e)

then "foo" doesn't contain the "description" key at all. It looks as if some cleanup is taking place at the wrong point.

Thanks for checking, Jack. What I didn't mention before is that this also shows up in the GUI in the main window with the variables. But your cleanup hypothesis may well also cover that.

cheers
