Good golly this seems familiar, I spent a great deal of time trying to figure out what caused the guru. Try removing FASTMEMFIRST from your startup-sequence. The guru goes away then (at least it did for me), then after you do that, join the team that is flaming Supra for not going with a standard 1.3 mount and mountlist.
