OK. SHORT ANSWER: Ran out of LUNs. Somewhere one of my routines isn't
cleaning up after itself.

LONG ANSWER: The LOADCT routine uses error redirection to spew a
generic error message on IO errors. Here is the code for this
redirection:

on_ioerror, bad
<...>
bad:
message, /CONTINUE, 'Error reading file: ' + filename + ', ' + !
error_state.msg

Now, LOADCT wants to read a file with the color table, and that error
is intended to tell you if the color table you want is missing. But
before the FILENAME is even set by LOAD_CT, it runs GET_LUN to assign
an LUN to read the file. When that command fails, it goes to 'bad' and
then it croaks because FILENAME isn't defined.
