Hmm. What does trace(union) show as the arguments to union ?
If there is some expression in the arguments which is union(...) instead
of {...}, maybe trace(listify, apply) shows from where it originates.

Does load(nset) make the problem go away? (By running interpreted code
instead of compiled.)

I'm guessing this is an ECL bug, but I don't know how to figure out what it is.

HTH
