The same thing has happened to me (actually more than once). I'm not sure
what triggered it, unfortunately I couldn't reproduce the issue in a new
REPL instance (where everything goes smoothly and the error disappears). My
(newbie) feeling is that the REPL is still somewhat "fragile" and it is
rather easy to break it.
