Hi Jared.  Thanks for the bug report.

Yes.  We missed some sharing constraints.  I've added them to 

	basis-library/libs/basis-2002/top-level/basis.sig

Since we now distribute the basis library sources with the MLton
packages, if you need the changes urgently you can patch your copy of
the basis library sources and immediately see the fix.

Let us know if you see anything else, and thanks for testing the
experimental release.
