Only surprising if you haven't written LISP code. :-)
Indeed, one of the big improvements in LISP was getting this right (i.e.,
lexical scoping rather than textual scoping, or some such terminology). And
it's still a killer in macros.
Still sounds easier to debug than crashing kernel code on a machine with
insufficient memory to host a debugger or compiler. :-)
