Oops! . . forgot to take the dots out . .

In any case, in the actual live script (as opposed to the test script) I 
did the same comparison of:

$recs[ "#{$seed_pre}.#{$seed_post}.#{$seed}.#{sgen}".freeze ] = $iarr
$recs[ "#{$seed_pre}#{$seed_post}#{$seed}#{sgen}".to_i.freeze ] = $iarr

and unfortunately there was no real difference because of the amount of 
other processing that happens inside the loops . .

Thanks,

Phil.
