alice-teacher sonoma HELP !

[Barnum, William]

James,

Is it possible that the issue you are describing is related to a particular
model that is either new in Alice 3.8 or modified in Alice 3.8?

I've found some models have issues that create weird problems that can
occur if an instance of the model is present in a program.
