Re: Weird bug with pack_list/1

Dear Michael, 

pack_list/1 has been reported as broken since the beginning of July.
https://lists.iai.uni-bonn.de/pipermail/swi-prolog/2013/010712.html

For the problem reported there, it was the reply from the  server that seem to be the problem.
It would appear to be a contributing factor in your examples too.

Regards,

Nicos Angelopoulos.
