Ok, thanks.

Do not worry, I found the problem easily after logging in on mica. It
was a stupid cut-and-paste error.

Unfortunately, I was not able to debug the problems with mcgui. The ILL
firewall seems to completely block all X windows access in both
directions now (I think previously ILL-local applications could be
displayed on remote X terminals). So it looks like we have to debug
manually.

As a start, try to reproduce the crash inside the perl debugger. Start
mcgui with the command

    perl -d /usr/ill/bin/mcgui in14_tut.instr

and type

    r

to start the program. Then send the complete output when it crashes.
