To answer my email correctly, you have both (quite correctly) used lots of 
words to explain the scenario.

My question was, and I did explain myself well enough, was probably

 	Is the simple CD2 change suggested for the C23 document of

 		between function calls -> between sequence points

 	adequate for US-200?

Is the term "sequence points" adequate or precise enough to cover all that 
is needed to be explained here.  Maybe discuss this on Wednesday.
