dear sam,

in the meantime i tried to reach one of the developers of this
3d-system, where a bug like this occured.  unfortunetaly, he has
nearly no time.  he remembered that the problem was related to the
call/cc implementation in elk, which has been disabled after that.
not a real solution...

all i can give to you is this url:

http://www.avango.de/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12

not too much information, esp. the scripts are not runnable without
this system (which is not free, unfortunetaly), but at least a bit.
hope it will be possible to track that bug down.

bests,

martin
