http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/d420.htm says:

m/y inserts successive verbs from the gerund m between items of y,
extending m cyclically as required. Thus, +`*/i.6 is 0+1*2+3*4+5

But it does not include an example of m/y where y contains an odd
number of elements.

 From the description, I would expect +`*/3 4 5 to give the result 3*4+5

However:
    3*4+5
27
    +`*/3 4 5
23

I'm thinking that this might be a bug in the interpreter.

Is there some application, though, that requires the current behavior?

Thanks,
