Hello Aaron, 

thank you for the bug report!

It highlighted the fact that the upstream package does not rebuild the
file src/populations, which remains from some previous compilation, and
at some point of the build process, the newly built 'populations' file 
is left unused, the older file src/populations is used instead.

I wite a quick work-around, and I send a Cc to the upstream author,
because this bug need a fix. It caused probably the nasty beahvior we
already pointed out: the package could be compiled with g++-4.5 but not
with g++-4.6

Best regards,                   Georges.
