This bug was a blunder introduced during a tidying-up operation and I
have fixed it for the next beta.
It had nothing to do with AVX. The first version below says 9.01: is
there something wrong with the beta distribution?

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

(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

Henry, thanks for all the work that you put into improving the language through
subsequent betas.
I am away from my production computer, which has the different beta versions
for j902, but I have found a difference between J901 and J902-f
JVERSION
Engine: j901/j64avx2/darwin
Beta-m: commercial/2019-10-02T11:28:59
Library: 9.01.24
Qt IDE: 1.8.4/5.12.5
Platform: Darwin 64
Installer: J901 install

(1 1 $ < 0) {:: 'a';'c'
a
(3 1 $ <0){:: 'a';'b';'c'
aaa
Either of these lines will crash the entire session of j902-f
JVERSION
Engine: j902/j64avx2/darwin
Beta-f: commercial/2020-09-24T12:49:44

Hope this helps. I will be back from vacation on Monday, but I can still do a
little more investigation from my laptop if necessary.
Cheers, bob
