 Dear Sirs

 I have tried some items that seem to hang Mathematica 6.0. However  
 they work perfectly fine in the 5.2 version. I have tried to  
 discover the flaw and I have not been able to do so. The problem  
 pertains at some code I extracted from a book about Mathematica  
 applications by Boccara, particularly the examples that relate to  
 fractals, Julia and Mandelbrot Sets.

 I have below the lines of code. I you try them, I'd wish to see if  
 you are able to make them work.

 Yours sincerely,

 Jesus M, Goiri
