Please send me a simple case to reproduce this.

Greetings,
While preparing a minor JOD update to better support editing when running
JOD from
jconsole I noticed the compj verb in JOD was no longer completely
compressing words.
This caused my JOD build scripts to fail so I started debugging and noticed
J 8.05 can lose the shape of explicit J y arguments under some
circumstances. This is
a very serious bug! Observe the following debugging trace of the
(compressj) word listed
at the end of this message.

At no point is y reassigned in the local scope yet its shape has changed.
Even the shape
of the copy iy was also changed. The verb dewhitejcr seems to strip the
shape from y
in the local scope. This verb has been working fine for years so this is
clearly some
change in J system code.
Local values losing their shape due to system side effects is one of those
all out the water bugs. All the code compressj references is attached
below.
Please contact me if you need help reproducing the error.
