[Swift-devel] duplicated job submission in swift-0.92?

There seems to be something non-deterministic about this script:

com$ cat zz5.swift
int arr[];
int brr[];

arr[0]=1;
arr[1]=2;

brr = [1:2];

trace("arr",arr);
trace("brr",brr);

foreach a in arr {
  trace("for", a);
}

com$ 

(By the way, Im seeing the same error on communicado)

The script above sometimes prints 2, 3, or 4 instances of the trace() inside the foreach.  And sometimes it hangs on one of the two trace statements outside the loop. Most cases, it prints all 6 traces, as in the original failing case.
