I can't reproduce it reliably enough to be sure it's not a bad download 
of the 2.13.63 tarball, so my apologies for the noise; I'll just go back 
under the bridge and grumble quietly to myself.  The source from git is 
fine and the binaries from the website all are fine, so it's something 
in my environment and there are probably other fish wanting frying.

Cheers,
Colin
