Comment(by robe):

 okay this is spooky.  Just tested again and it showed up right on my
 windows 9.2 edb install, but then I tried again just running a second time
 and it was WRONG. it literally went from "t" to "f" and once false just
 stayed at false.

 I think there is a memory leak somewhere.  Last time I saw this behavior
 was when address space was not being cleaned right and running in 32-bit
 mode on a 64-bit OS was especially sensitive to this sloppy cleanup.
