[Nickle] nickle from CVS (2002-12-04) fails loading builtins

[Bart Massey]

Hmm.  No, I can't reproduce the problem.  Unless Keith just
fixed it :-), it's fine.  I blew Nickle entirely off my box,
checked out fresh from scratch, and re-installed: ran the
code you gave fine, and seems to work great.

1) Where are you getting the repository?  The canonical
   location is home.keithp.com:/local/src/CVS

2) The structure of the share/nickle directory has changed.
   Make sure to do a "make install", and you might want to
   blow this directory away before you do so (shouldn't be
   necessary, but...)

3) Are you building on something other than Linux?
