This looks like bug 49:

http://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/swift/show_bug.cgi?id=49

I just spent the evening tracking it down with Nika.

As far as I can tell, that means she's been using a swift compiler that 
has been at least 2 months old right up until she just updated it this 
evening.

*please* try to report problems against something resembling a recent 
checkout-and-build.

Furthermore, when I finally tracked it down, turns out that its because of 
a bug in the SwiftScript source. I fix *exactly* this problem, here:

*please* try to actually use bugfixes that people give you.

Bad users!

Go to your room!
