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. -- Daniel C.
