OK, I upgraded to 1.3.0-master-SNAPSHOT but I am still getting a bound
x and y after running the test-nested-binding function.  There must be
something else not quite right.

for my REPL I am using:

ubuntu linux 10.04
java sdk 1.6.0_21
clojure 1.3.0-master-SNAPSHOT
clojure-contrib 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT
jLine 0.9.95-SNAPSHOT

here is a cut/paste of what I did at the repl:

(I also ran this with just a plain clojure repl (no contrib or jline
jars in the classpath))

thanks for any help

take care,
