Cameron and I have isolated a number of the probable causes for gmail and ebay
bustage, and they are expressions like (assume var a, b;):
* a=a.b=c -- should evaluate as  a.b=c; a=a.b; actually evals as
a=c;a.b=a;a=a.b; (ditto for a[b])
* a.b=(a="wiffle") -- should eval as base=a;a="wiffle";base.b=a; actually
evaluates as a=wiffle;a.b=a;

This makes me cry.
