Greetings all,

This morning I updated to J 9.01 beta-h and started running through my jod
addon tests.

9.01 beta-h immediately broke JOD.  The problem derives from loading the
task addon.

By changing the JOD startup script I was able to patch JOD and maintain
backwards compatibility
but  I came across something that indicates there may be side effects in J
running (9!:41).

If the first few two lines of the JOD start up script are:

load 'task'
(9!:41) 0

JOD loads in a fresh J session and runs.

If the first two lines are

(9!:41) 0
load 'task'

I get the error in fresh J session.

|syntax error

| 3'0 fork y : ph=.CreateProcess y if. x do. bblock. end.CloseHandle ph
empty'''' '


This is most peculiar. If executing 9!:41, which controls whether J retains
comments in explicit code or

discards them, leaves some side effect that interacts with loading task
then this makes sense.


I will continue testing and release a JOD patch to insure it runs in the
lastest beta.
