It shouldn't be ...

But the issue of loading libraries has come up before, and I think 
the rev libraries, including libUrl are loaded in a preOpenBackground 
handler . You might want to try this suggestion, previously posted by 
Richard Gaskin:

But it doesn't explain the "works on one machine, not on another" issue".

Although still not explaining the difference between machines, I'm 
fairly sure the above script won't do what you intend. Assuming you 
want to gather the data from the url in gWhatever, this would be 
better:

put URL ClientDataCurrent into tData
if the result is not empty then
   ## error handing and exit here
end if
answer "calling from preOpenStack, this is what is \
    read from the data_current file:" & return & tData
put tData into gWhatever

How do you fill ClientDataCurrent? Is this different between 
users/machines/locations? You might want to check that it contains a 
valid url on the failing machine.
