[development] So confused about arg(...)

I'm working on a hook_preprocess_page and it seems to be behaving strangely. I have: drupal_set_message('stuff '. arg(0) . '/' . arg(1)); $variables['nancy'] = $hook . arg(0) . '/' . arg(1); In exactly that order, with no intervening lines. Displaying the variable in the page.tpl.php shows "page taxonomy/term" but the message shows "stuff r/ms" (even if I refresh the page, or clear the cache). How can this be happening? Nancy E.
