I debugged the problem a bit more, and it appears to be caused by a
change in behavior in the concat function between emacs20 and emacs21.
olcr-uid returns the number 8106, and not a string "8106". In emacs
20, the following code
(concat "/tmp/olcr-replay-" "paco" "0" "." 8106)
returns
"/tmp/olcr-replay-brandonw0.8106"
whereas the same code returns the following error in emacs 21:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument sequencep 8106)
concat("/tmp/olcr-replay-" "brandonw" "0" "." 8106)
eval((concat "/tmp/olcr-replay-" "brandonw" "0" "." 8106))
eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
eval-last-sexp(nil)
call-interactively(eval-last-sexp)
Quoting it seems to work in both emacs20 and emacs21.
Changing the following in definitions.el
(defvar olcr-uid (user-uid)
"The UID of the consultant running OLCR.")
to
(defvar olcr-uid (concat (user-uid))
"The UID of the consultant running OLCR.")
_should_ work, and I'm currently testing this out (making changes to a
few paths in the elisp), to make sure that this actually works.

Emacs olcr doesn't work under emacs 21. More specifically, olcr-list
worksm but whenever I try to replay a conversation, I get the error:
Wrong type argument: sequencep, 8106
(8106 is my Athena uid)
Here's some related spew from my *Messages* buffer.
olcr-execute: Wrong type argument: sequencep, 8106
Finished updating user list. Type ? to get help on using OLCR.
