[Apologies for the incorrect Subject: on this report yesterday, 9/29.]

The trouble with bsave after executing a defquery appears to happen when serializing the Map Context.m_variables in Rete.m_globalContext: at this point in the script, the map holds the QueryResult variable ?qr:

    (bind ?qr (run-query* all-cars))

Hence, if I execute

    (bind ?qr "not a QueryResult")

before the 2nd bsave, then the script runs without error. Could QueryResult be made Serializable? Revised script and results below. Thanks again,

                        Jonathan Sewall
