"this" was referring to the fact that the sandbox code creates a
module, seems to fail to load it, and then requires it. There was
nothing about Danny's code in "this".

Overall, I'm not saying that it is a sandbox bug (except it sure seems
to be at least a case of bad argument checking), but I am saying that
it would be helpful if you'd look into it. If you have time.
