hee, this is because greg changed the way .init worked in world 4.0 from 3.0,
but he forgot to change it on exits.  Just change the init to be:

pass();
if (!inited) {
  <what it sets>
  inited = 1;
}

then:

;$exits.add_parameter('inited);

and it should work.

Chaos will be releasing his core soon, and i'll be merging it into the Cold
Dark.  Other than that i'm not sure if anybody is working on anything...

Did you see Greg's Manual?
