Fatal JMP16 bug

This isn't a question, just brining awareness to an issue that I recently noticed within my scripts since moving to JMP16 -- namely, I'd assume that Is Namespace( ... ) would not return a truthy value for a deleted namespace, but it does in JMP16.2 (but not in JMP14.3)

 

Because of this, the following script crashes JMP16.2:

ns = New Namespace();
ns:ns = New Namespace();
ns:ns << Delete Namespace();
Show( Is Namespace( ns:ns ) );
If( Is Namespace( ns:ns ),
	ns:ns:__item__ = 4;
);

I've needed to modify my scripts to the equivalent of this to get around the issue:

ns = New Namespace();
ns:ns = New Namespace();
ns:ns << Delete Namespace();
Show( Is Namespace( ns:ns ) );
If( Is Namespace( ns:ns ) & !Is Missing( ns:ns << Get Name ),
	ns:ns:__item__ = 4;
);

Thanks very much for this information. A JMP developer has investigated and logged the issues you found so that they can be corrected in a future release!
