Don't seem to get many responses on the > smart list, so I thought I'd try here first I don't know smart. If x is a container, it must be an empty list. It sounds like the package being processed is configured incorrectly. When I looked at the definition of pkg (quickly) in the source, it didn't seem to be an indexed container, but if that code works it must be. In this case it wasn't so there was no zeroth element to define loader from. Too bad it didn't print the package name.
