Let me add a little more preceding output:
	(/home/.../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/core-sec.mkii
	loading     : Context Core Macros / Sectioning
	...

Just for kicks, I tried the following. The prompt said
	Please type another input file name:
so I entered "core-swd.mkii" (i.e. I added the .mkii suffix).
This seemed to satisfy the processor ... until the same error happened
again a little while later (with the same preceding output).
This happened about 4 times total.

Was that a legitimate solution? Or should it really be looking for a
core-swd.tex file?

Thanks,
Lars
