I stumbled on a minor (?) `⍕` problem

I `)dump`ed the results of a previous work (content irrelevant. Restore it, and 
examine these results :

```
      )load Exp01dmp.apl
DUMPED 2023-05-27  22:12:26 (GMT+2)
      ⍴bar
500 3
```

A bit too large ; sample it :

```
      ⍴sample←2↑[1]bar
2 3
```

It's a vanilla numeric matrix :

```
      26⎕CR sample
16 32 32 16 32 32
      sample
142 1.375974377E¯13 0.264
 53 5.267033354E¯14 0.008
```

It seems that trying to format it *fails!* This :

```
      test←4 0 7 ¯3 7 ¯4⍕sample
```

**never** returns, and the `apl` process eats 100% of the time of one of my 
8-core CPU. The only way to exit is to kill the `emacs` buffer where it runs : 
`emacs` asks for permission to kill the process (see below).

Setup : Laptop :  core i7, 16 GB RAM, Debian testing, `apl_1.8-1_amd64.deb` 
downloaded from the Gnu mirror. APL runs from `emacs` via the `inferior-mode` 
created by `gnu-apl` (from the `gnu-apl-mode` package).

HTH,
