Bill,

That error message comes from the setime command. It would be called if there is 
an error with the os9 F$STime syscall. If the returned error is not $EA, 
non-existent module, then what you see is sent as a generic error.
You can look at F$STime in level2/modules/kernel and see that the only reported 
error is generated by the os9 F$Link call.

Since we have excluded a missing module, the remaining errors would be module 
busy and defective module header. Module busy is the only reasonable choice.

Probably Setime should be changed so that F$Time is tried twice to compensate 
for a Busy error. You could also change Setime so that if the error is $D1, 
module busy, it gets reported. At least that would test my reasoning.
