You've installed an *empty* table and so "print" and "globals" are no longer
defined in the new global table. You need at least this:

	local t = {print=print, globals=globals}

(Also, save _ERRORMESSAGE and _ALERT in t if you want to see any errors
reported.)

Or you can setup "index" tag methods so that the new table can inherit from
the original global table.
