On J602,
_. <: _
gives 0.  On 601 it gave 1.

This is not a bug but it caused me a few minutes' debugging &
might be mentioned for others.

It's not a bug because the behavior of _. is undefined.  But in
a way, it is a J problem because working old code breaks in the
new release.

Just thinking... I try never to have _. in my data, but it's hard
to be sure. How hard would it be to have a debug setting that
gives a domain error if _. is ever produced?  Then I would
know that I would be immune from a problem like this.
