[Jprogramming] gotcha: "load" vs. "require" for "regex"

[Devon McCormick]

Yes - my startup script loads my utility library which, in turn, loads some
other
modules.  The utility library load is the last think "startup" does.

As I mentioned, I have a work-around and the problem does not manifest
itself in J 6.01,
so it's really a non-issue as far as I'm concerned.
