Did something change in how require() is handled?

I'm having difficulties using some modules (e.g. random and md5) but 
others appears to be fine (e.g. lfs, uuid, gdbm, posix).

The symptom is that the require function seems to work fine, but... a 
call to any of the module loaded results in the following exception:

require( "random" )

local aRandom = random.new( os.time() )

lua: Example.lua:206: attempt to index global `random' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
        Example.lua:206: in main chunk
        [C]: ?

I also get a bus error pretty systematically. See attached log.

All the above worked very fine with the stock work4 distribution. No 
changes except updating from work4 to work5.

HTH.

Cheers
