    ConcatArray=ConcatArray & v
  Next v
End Function

Sub Test1
  Msgbox ConcatArray(Array("a", "b"))
  Msgbox ConcatArray(Array("c", "d"))
End Sub

Sub Test2
  Dim script
  script = ThisComponent.scriptProvider.getScript("vnd.sun.star.script:Standard.Module1.ConcatArray?language=Basic&location=document")
  Msgbox script.invoke(Array(Array("a", "b")), Array(), Array())

Repro.

XScript::invoke [1] is documented to return "the value returned from the function being invoked". It doesn't mention "... and keep a copy to attach to the next return as a bonus" ;-D
