Through a *lot* of trial an error I finally discovered that the
root cause of the problem was the fact that, in the same directory
as buggy.py, there is *another* innocuous little script, totally

unrelated, whose name happens to be numbers.py.

   The right answer to this is to make module search return an
error if two modules satisfy the search criteria.  "First find"
isn't a good solution.
