One needs to remember that MPlib goes through several runs, and many
standard MP code examples are written for a single, mpost run. This
means that code can fail if variables, for example, are not properly
initialized (or re-initialized). Another example is reading from files
in MP, as the file descriptors are kept open by default, reading on from
where one stopped in a previous run.
