Hi Georg, thanks for your answer. Effectively I did not rerun the btape test after the upgrade from 1.36.3 to 1.38.11, also because I had some successful changes of tapes. I ran btape again, and it passed the test, but I believe there was a strange behaviour, I had to give NEWLINE twice. This is the log:
