This sounds like the pull script itself got rewritten
by your pull.  After being rewritten, it then started
executing the new file at the byte offset where it left
off in the old file, which caused your problem.
I don't change pull almost ever, so this won't happen
again (the last change was October 2002).  Pull is
special because it's in glenda's bin directory.
Binaries in standard bin directories are "safeinstalled"
to help avoid this problem.

Aha!  Someone else complained about this too, a week ago,
but I didn't see the bug then.  I fixed the source on sources.
New C library will appear tomorrow morning.  The bug has
gone unnoticed for about six weeks -- looks like acme is the
only program that uses runevsmprint, and I didn't recompile
all the binaries when I made the change, because it didn't
seem worth it.  (I cleaned up some error handling in the
(rune)fmtstr and (rune)vsmprint routines.)
