That's clear. My test modules do not require any other test module and export nothing. Lesson learned: modules that are required by other ones should not produce side effects that may alter the behaviour of another required module. Well, I never did so, but it is good to be aware of it. I expect that the top level module of a program may rely on side effects of sub level modules (as for example in a module defining a new language and read-table for a module using this language) Thanks, Jos
