Ah. Sorry, I was mistaken in what was going on in .properties. I thought
it was doing an ihandle>phandle on the returned value of active-package.
Looking more carefully at the stack trace, it's indeed doing an
ihandle>phandle on the result of a get-package-property rather than
active-package - the " mmu" property is coming back zero, and you really
can't feed that to ihandle>phandle.
