No need, I have ample logging already written into the program.

False alarm everyone, there was a logical error in my code. And 
not only this, but the error appeared in **none** of the code I 
posted, sorry! I was working from a wrong assumption.

I counted calls to my `rand01` function and realized that the 
number of calls was equal to the number of times `rand` appeared 
in the file being interpreted, rather than the number of times it 
should have been evaluated.  Then it became clear that the parser 
was replacing calls to `rand` with a number, which was displayed 
repeatedly when a loop was evaluated.  I removed `rand` from the 
dictionary of substitutions the parser needs to make.
