Tom Steichen identified the likely location of errors in your reproduction of 
-hetero1-.

I just wanted to add that, more generally, you may need to write somewhat more 
complicated programs than -hetero1- to use with -simulate-.
It is best to run and debug your user-written programs before calling them with 
-simulate-.  You can identify offending lines or sections of code using the 
-trace- utilities.   See -help trace- and [P] trace.
