Re: fatal: internal error Ver 5.2.0 readall()

[J Naman]

IMHO, This is not a rush fix and I'm sympathetic to Andy's saying, " I'm
not sure I have time to troubleshoot right now."
It is easy for a normal user not to cause the abend. I was and continue to
explore boundaries and corners of new features. Personally, discovering
that readall() appears to choke on namespace variables, foo::name, may be
much easier to eventually fix and more useful to the few of us who use
namespace heavily. In the meantime, reada() and writea() works so well for
me to bypass needing readall().  - John Naman
