I don't actually have a lot of information. Simon told me that, due to a
change in behaviour which he described as a bug, we need to enable the
caller opcode during the load of the strict module, and that we could
turn it off again once the module was imported. That's what I did (after
testing). It's a tiny and quite safe change. If you like I will add a
note to the code saying why it's there.

cheers
