subst behaves differently depending on replacement value

[JamesMaeding]

I ran into this odd behavior, try:

(SUBST

  (LIST "NAMES" (LIST (LIST (LIST "A" 2) (LIST "B" 2) "C")))

  (LIST "NAMES" NIL)

  (LIST (LIST "ASDASD" 1)(LIST "NAMES" NIL))

)

that should fill in the (LIST "NAMES" NIL") with the triple neseted list I told it to.

Instead, it fills in the NIL of (LIST "NAMES" NIL") with the value.

So I get this:

(("ASDASD" 1)(LIST "NAMES"  ("NAMES" ((("A" 2) ("B" 2) "C")))))

instead of

(("ASDASD" 1)(LIST "NAMES" ((("A" 2) ("B" 2) "C"))))

I've never seen subst do that, is this normal?

Alternative is to use a loop to build the modified list...

I fooled myself, it does work.

I read the vlide debug inspect window wrong 10 times in a row. 11th was the charm....
