This is most likely my fault. The only place where ficlExecFD gets
executed is during initialization, when loading /boot/boot.4th. What
do you have there? I suppose you have no trouble booting if you
rename that file, correct?
I suspect you have a "builtin command" (those shown by ?) in the
first line of that file, and with my recent changes, these commands
have evidenced a bug in ficl, which I have been delaying dealing
with until I get an answer from ficl's author.
If that file is essential to you (and it's contents cannot be placed
in loader.rc), I'll send you a patch that should get you going, for
now.
BTW, ficl's builtin command behavior got changed. I was avoiding
bugging Mike to up loader's version (which is now available with
"loader_version environment?") until I could change "include" to
process fourth source, instead of just builtins, and *that* depends
on the above mentioned bug getting fixed.
