Bizarre. Can confirm

(so in my case it's 25 instead of 22). Interestingly, my version also
produces warnings about possibly unbound variables). If I enter the
code line by line into a repl, I also get a "not found 22".

Interestingly, if I add a call to fn to the end of that snippet
(e.g. (fn '(a b))), the "not found" disappears. The unbound var
warnings stay.

Cheers
