I just checked it. There was a bug in the Python script we're
using to generate the tables in "src/psnames/pstables.h" used
in your particular case. It generated invalid Mac names tables.

I have just commited a fix. Please try it and let us if this
works. I'm really much too busy right now packaging the release
to do any kind of deep testing..
