> Is this just something best handled by avoiding the name "lake?"

Yes, exactly.  The "LDEFINE(ack, ...)"  macro expands to a function
delcaration of the form

	LObject *ack(Lake *lake, LList *args)

so the local variable "lake" shadows the argument.  I'm surprised the
compiler didn't notice and complain about this, but in any case,
avoid the name "lake" (and also "args") in functions declared with
LDEFINE.

The convention, which must of course be strictly adhered to, is to use
the names of actual lakes for lake variables (calhoun, powderhorn,
etc).
