k is a loop index. In GP, loop indices are local variables statically
scopped to the loop.  As a result, k is not visible by the function
ckex().  The string "k==0" is evaluated in the context of the function
ckex(), and k is not defined there, so the result is 0 (false).  

On the other hand, j is a global variable, so is visible by ckex().

Cheers,
Bill.

P.S.: Could you confirm 2.9.1-pre1 fix the problem with writebin on Windows ?
