Details:

Sometimes, after loading a file, not every effect of the file, or perhaps no
effect of the file, is incurred.  This leads, for example, to unassigned
variables and uninitialized data structures.  This happens sometimes after
loading a large system, such as LIAR or scmutils, or sometimes while loading
the system because dependencies aren't fully in place.  It is infrequent
enough that I can get work done, but frequent enough to worry me, and I have
seen it on more than one machine but only with liarc, so it's probably not
just bad RAM.
