It is not a bug -- this is the way the pattern-matcher works. You need
to use ReplaceRepeated, i.e.,
?ReplaceRepeated
"expr //. rules repeatedly performs replacements until expr no longer
changes."
instead of ReplaceAll:
?ReplaceAll
"expr /. rules applies a rule or list of rules in an attempt to
transform
each subpart of an expression expr."
I.e.,
k1matrix=Table[k1[i,j], {i,4},{j,4}] //. {h->6, e*in ->10^6}
Cheers,
Paul
