 This discrepancy does not appear for the old
 version of $\simp$.
 
+Why?
 
 During the first derivative operation,

 Therefore $((_0\ONE  + \ZERO)(_0a  +  _1a^*))\backslash a$ splits into
+$\rup\backslash a=(_0( [\ZERO\cdot {\bf b}] + 0) + _1( _0( [\ZERO\cdot a^*] + _1[ _1\ONE \cdot {\bf a}^*]) + _1( [\ZERO \cdot {\bf a}] + \ONE)  ))$

 After these two successive derivatives without simplification,
 we apply $\simp$ to this regular expression, which goes through
