Now, I think I have a bigger problem, Andy, this "bug" has real legs.

Something is deleting that .orig file during a successful build, so a 
repeat build again fails. I have now applied a chattr +i to it just for 
grins. Looking at that dir's contents, I see nothing there that should 
delete that file.  Is the git pull capable of that? Maybe the +i will 
generate an error msg? IDK.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
