That's definitely it I'm pretty sure it's an environment variable that 
got messed with.  Cradle during install set $SHELL to "nutc" without 
telling me, and I'm 90% sure that's what caused Windowmaker  to choke.  
Now I just need to figure out which of these other system variables need 
to go, and which ones I need to put back in.
