no, you've got it as it should be. This is an error introduced hxt-9.0
when changing the internals of the global hxt state. I've removed that
bug in the head of the development version.
If there's no time for you to wait until hxt-9.1, the dev. version is available
from github at "https://github.com/UweSchmidt/hxt".

Sorry for that inconvenience,

  Uwe
