How about the input IDL? Or at least a call stack? This error is not an
environment error. It is an error in the symbol management logic. It may
mean that the input is invalid, but it more likely means that you are
exercising a case we haven't hit yet. There is little chance of
resolving this sort of error without input to reproduce the problem.

For example, do you know which input file you were processing?

Also, having updated libsherpa, have you done a fully clean build? You
can do this by:

  cd coyotos/src
  make distclean
  make
