Bug description

Full_Name: Dr Lee Hunt McDonald
Version: OCaml 3.02, 3.06
OS: Redhat Linux 8.0
Submission from: dsl093-162-077.tus1.dsl.speakeasy.net (66.93.162.77)

I realized that my previous bug report was just about an interesting feature of
mutable data structures : you need to do liberal doses of copying to avoid
changing the value of an existing data structure.
Thus I should have done
myMutStr <- String.copy "11";
instead of
myMutStr <- "11";

This is all very obvious if you remember to think in terms of pointers.
Sorry to bother you

Lee
