I moved some KEY_* defines from sbbsdefs.js to a new file: load/key_defs.js and in there added some CTRL_* key definitions that are commonly used (CTRL_A - CTRL_Z).
I'm guessing that one of your require() statements is checking for a symbol that's now defined by sbbsdefs.js->key_defs.js, so your load-lib isn't being loaded. Changing the symbol being checked for in the require() call should fix that.
