Cannot build current system (MacOS X 10.3.9, PowerPC)

[Tim Olson]

I hadn't been keeping up-to-date with slate changes, so I decided to 
grab a clean version.  But when it comes time to bootstrap the 
libraries, the bootstrap fails during loading of 
src/lib/directory.slate (using either main or alpha repositories):

====
  Loading P'src/lib/directory.slate'
Warning: You tried to call load: on something that didn't describe a 
file. Hopefully the argument you passed what was you wanted. Here it 
is.

(the Warning message is repeated a number of times, then I get:

The following condition was signaled:
The method #AutoLoader was not found for the following arguments:
{lobby}

No restarts are available.

Enter 'help.' for instructions.
Debug:
The following condition was signaled from within the debugger:
The method #repl was not found for the following arguments:
{lobby}
Debug:
The following condition was signaled from within the debugger:
The method #Image was not found for the following arguments:
{lobby}
Debug:
The following condition was signaled from within the debugger:
The stream has reached its end, unhandled.Debug:
====

And the final two lines are then repeat until I kill it.

First thing I notice: what is the "P" doing on the front of all the 
path names being loaded?  This leads me to think that perhaps the 
kernel.big.32.image may be corrupt.
