Thanks John, that did it - a 'git pull' and 'make' and ensuring conkeror is launched from the same directory as the freshly build conkeror-spawn-helper. I had thought that the spawn-helper was only used for invoking the external editor [1], but it seems to be general for /any/ external application (note to self).
