My guess is this has to do with dependencies - Connectors is a cluster 
of related packages, and MC must be trying to load one of them before 
it can find all of them.  This is similar to the issue Chuck had, which 
Lex had to work around in a pretty clunky way (clunky due to Monticello 
issues, not any fault of Lex's).  Anyway, it's clear that the case of 
loading several related MC packages from SqueakMap at once is becoming 
more common, and is broken, and I need to fix it.  I've been a 
negligent maintainer recently - I have fixes from both you and Ned 
sitting in the queue that I just haven't gotten around to pushing out 
yet (too much else going on right now).  But once I'm done my last 
meeting today, I'll spend some quality Monticello time and get a new 
release out this evening, hopefully with a fix for this Connectors 
problem.  I'm saying this in public so that I have to follow through 
with it... ;)
