My pleasure.  Thanks for helping me discover the bug.

Can you please test something for me: if you use sym_constant instead
of sym_update, does it work properly?  I find that my program is
still able to modify the variable even though it was configured
to be a constant.  The code that sets var_assign to set_constant doesn't seem
to be having any impact on what happens.

I am also wondering whether this capability should be added to gawkextlib...
