- The Version command probably looks at the in-RAM copy first: The first
- Version command loads the .library file, the second one just checks the
- same one again (still in memory), ignoring the requested file. Try the
- same commands again, but issue the command 'avail flush' between them to
- flush out the unused, but resident-in-memory, copy.
- I'd consider it a bug in Version if it acts in this (unexpected)
- way.
