The following adds to the email of Joey K Tuttle.
The "expand bug" is still occurring under SUSE Linux 12.3 after
install 'all'
install 'qtide'
using jconsole.
So
load 'plot'
pd 0 1 2 3;0 1 4 9
pd 'pdf'
pd 'show'
results in
load '/home/tom/j64-801-user/temp/1.ijs'
|domain error: inverse
| ext=.msk expand(;len{.each 1)+/;.1 ext
