Arguments are swapped in the macro for transitive verbs in semLexHole.pl in
version 1.2 of BB1. Corrected macro:
semLex(tv,M):- M = [symbol:Sym, sem:lam(Z,lam(X,app(Z,lam(Y,lam(H,lam(L,and(pred2(L,Sym,X,Y),leq(L,H))))))))].Reported by Mike White.

Discovered bug in alphabeticVariants/2.
Some formulas with identical free variables were wrongly classified as
non-alphabetic variants. The revised code for this predicate is:
alphabeticVariants(Term1,Term2):- alphaConvert(Term1,[],[]-Free1,Term3), alphaConvert(Term2,[],[]-Free2,Term4), Free1==Free2, numbervars(Free1,0,N), numbervars(Term3,N,M), numbervars(Term4,N,M), Term3=Term4.

There appears to be a bug in betaConvert/3. For input such
as app(app(X,Y),Z) it returns no rather than succeeding
and returning the same term. The current solution is this code:
betaConvert(X,Y,[]):- var(X), !, Y=X. betaConvert(Expression,Result,Stack):- nonvar(Expression), Expression = app(Functor,Argument), alphaConvert(Functor,Converted), betaConvert(Converted,Result,[Argument|Stack]), !. betaConvert(Expression,Result,[X|Stack]):- nonvar(Expression), Expression = lam(X,Formula), betaConvert(Formula,Result,Stack), !. betaConvert(Formula,Result,[]):- nonvar(Formula), !, compose(Formula,Functor,Formulas), betaConvertList(Formulas,ResultFormulas), compose(Result,Functor,ResultFormulas). betaConvert(Exp,app(Exp,Y),[X]):- betaConvert(X,Y).Thanks to Sebastien Hinderer and Carlos Areces for reporting this.

problem of numbervars in fol2otter.pl, fol2bliksem.pl, fol2tptp.pl,
and comsemPredicates.pl. Also fixed a bug to do with equality in
backgroundKnowledge.pl.
