Mark's message inspired me to keep my ghost chasing skills sharp, lest he take 
my business.  

Anyway, I wrote :

I was wrong.  The results of  13!:34  _are_ exceptional.  They (appear to) 
represent Roger's experiments with a bit datatype.  

I didn't notice this at first because given the scalar rank of  m 13!:24  , I 
didn't think  m 13!:24~ vector  would show me
anything   m 13!:24~ scalar  wouldn't.  

But it does.  If I'm interpreting this right, the boolean results of   = 
13!:24~ 4 4 4  are all stored in a single byte.  That's
probably the reason  3!:1  =13!:34~ 4 4 4  crashes.  Given the shape of the 
noun, it tries to read 3 words, causing a memory
exception.
