Variables with random data in - britlion - 01-29-2012
Not sure if it's a bug or design, but I seem to be finding random numbers in dimensioned arrays. I would have expected a DIM to set values to zero by default, I think?
Assuming that, and not looping through and setting them to zero is causing some very surprising values to pop up!

It could be me. I put in deliberate loops to write zero to the array, and I'm still seeing odd numbers.
Now I have to find out where's writing to that variable! (or prove there's an error somewhere else, like corrupted memory) I'll get back to you on it.
