I found the problem and my face is a bit red. It was not stack
corruption, it was a caused by a typo that caused a missing global
declaration. The error just by coincidence happened to occur during
the few hours I was trying to run on 2.6. I had so many reverts
during that time, I must have messed up an edit. The reason I was so
confused, was that when I hit debug in the error window, it showed me
the line, but the variable watcher was in a different context which
had the global listed but did not have j listed. Typing into the
message box used the variable watcher context. I am usually pretty
good with debugging problems (even though I am still new with Rev)
but I was led astray by what I thought the tool was showing me.
However, in trying to duplicate the context error now, I can't. It
does the right thing. So now I am wondering if it was somehow
operator error. I usually figure operator error, but this time I may
have been too quick to blame 2.6 because I ran into so many other
problems so quickly when I tried using it --blame the one with the
long rap sheet that was in the vicinity. I will not likely repeat
this mistake.
Thank you for the help.
I am sorry to have caused you any inconvenience.
My apologies to 2.6 for being accused of a crime it did not commit.
Thank goodness I can recover from this.

If the Rev IDE is not reporting corruption, it may not be corrupted
at all. Your original report said:
repeat with j=1 to 20
put j --mssg box contains 1
get Typ[min(i+1+j,DateLines)] --error on this line
executing at 11:59:32 AM
Type Function: error in source expression
Object card id 1002
Line get Typ[min(i+1+j,DateLines)]
Hint card id 1002
The error is complaining that j has not been defined yet!!!!
I don't see "j" mentioned specifically in the error report, just
"source expression". So if "j" is okay and "1" is one and not an
undefined lower-case "L", what's in "i" and "DateLines"?
If those check out, what happens if you delete and retype that
line? It may be that there's an option-space or other illegal non-
printing character accidently put in there....
