Oh joy! The memories come flooding back :-) I didn't look at your code examples
in any detail since I don't believe that is where your problems will be found.
My experiences of this error message (both on the SUN and PC) are that there
is some environment variable dependency. It'll be something like IBOARDSIZE
being ill(un)defined. Since you don't mention your environment or the result
of a worm checkup it's difficult to say for sure.
