A recurring theme is that I encounter a problem for which there is no explanation from the system, hack the vm sources to add some tracing, and correct the problem. As a result, I end up building the vm from source and so tend to use a shell script that runs it.<br>

FWIW, without a -plugins option, this is what happens with the current sources:<br>

Note the extra / in the paths. Some of the plugins should fail to load; the point is that *all* of them fail to load.<br>
