I find the failure in Darwin as well, causing a segmentation fault, earlier
releases are OK.
When I put the new jengine in a Darwin non-avx machine, I get
JVERSION
Engine: j901/j64/darwin
Release-f: commercial/2020-06-11T16:03:29
Library: 9.01.24
Platform: Darwin 64
Installer: J901 install
InstallPath: /applications/j901
Contact: www.jsoftware.com
(1 1 $ < 0) {:: 'a';'c'
a
(3 1 $ <0){:: 'a';'b';'c'
aaa
So my speculation is that the segmentation fault is somewhere in the avx code.
I have a lame Linux system (non-avx) and I say lame because I have to install
from the tar.gz file rather than get the new version through pacman. There the
expressions work ok, but when I run the newly installed jbeta, I get -
JVERSION
Engine: j902/j64/linux
Beta-e: commercial/2020-08-14T10:06:25
Library: 9.02.05
Platform: Linux 64
Installer: J902 install
InstallPath: /usr/local/lib/j902
That seems to indicate that Beta-f didn't make it into the distribution file.

They also work fine in Beta-e on a RaspberryPi but the current jengine
available there is beta-d.
Thanks - joey
