Same problem, I'm afraid!

I've deleted my mol-bk tree, and deleted the contents of /usr/local/lib/mol/
0.9.69, and the re-cloned it from bk. I then rebooted the machine, and 
rebuilt it. I haven't tried it with OSX yet, but OS 9.2 starts off okay,
says that it needs to check the disc, and then gets about 1/5 of the way
through this (judging by the progress bar), and then locks up. Ctrl-C now
does seem to quit it (perhaps that was a function of the term I was using
before).

I'm displaying MOL remotely via X - I haven't had a chance to try it on
the console with the latest bk tree yet. It's running under Debian 3.0 on
an IBM RS/6000 7248 43p (a PReP based machine with a 604 processor) using
a stock kernel.org 2.4.21 kernel (with a small patch applied to enable the
video card on this machine). Here's what's in the log:
