   Interpreted runtimes seem to be broken.  Any idea what's wrong?

I found the problem.  Commit baf1cd59 broke the interpreter so it
can't interpret scode generated by 9.1.1 (and commit 3fc580e1 probably
broke the runtime so it can't operate on such scode).  Instead of
failing noisily, it quietly treats the stuff it doesn't understand as
self-evaluating.
