While filing a bug, I re-executed the test script once more, just to find out today that I would run the LoadPackage() and LoadPackageFromData() tests from the same script with the same Rexx program (same names). It seems that LoadPackage*() has the requires semantics, such that the prolog gets run only the very first time the package gets loaded (and merely reused each time a LoadPackage*() gets issued with the same name later). With other words: LoadPackageFromData() *does* run the prolog code, if the Rexx script gets loaded the first time by it! So this works as designed and there is no bug there I assume. ---rony
