Hi, I read your post several times, focusing on your comment "Notice that after you die, you try to execute that block of code an additional time.". I could not see what you were referring to -- after I die, there are no more instructions. And "die" terminates the execution of the program anyway, so I'm not clear as to how after dying I could possibly try to execute that block of code an additional time. When the die instruction is in fact executed when the invoker calls this module a second time, the program totally stops running. Where would I notice that after I die I try to execute that block of code an additional time? I'm drawing a blank on it. Thanks much.
