New issue 654 by pekka.klarck: Some `BuiltIn` keywords (e.g. `Run Keyword`)
can fail if `BuiltIn` module is imported before execution starts
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=654
A test that worked with RF 2.1.x fails with RF 2.5.3 with the following
traceback. I haven't been able to run the test in my machine, but it seems
that when `BuiltIn.run_keyword` executes line `return
kw.run(ExecutionContext(NAMESPACES.current, OUTPUT))` the `OUTPUT` is
`None`. This `OUTPUT` is imported by `BuiltIn` and it is originally
initialized in `robot.output` module to `None`. This problem is most likely
caused by `BuiltIn` being imported by the test before `OUTPUT` is set to
real value.
