     I don't beleive this is a bug, xlate replaces each individual character
from the first part with the replacement charater from the second part.
You (I assume) are presuming that the 6B will not affect the 1st 6 in the
keylist which it will.
In your example, each 6 is replaced by a blank hence the space between
the 0's and the ,
