It seems to work for me on both. Are you perhaps doing this in a REPL (other than the default) or IDE where you are susceptible to stack overflow while the result is auto-printed? I get stack overflows in the REPL in both 1.1 and 1.2 because of the after-eval printing of the result, but the alters do succeed. In other words, *printing* a, @a, b or @b may give you difficulties due to infinite recursion. But is one of the (dosync ...) blocks really failing? -- / Peter Schuller -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
