Hi George!

Sorry for the poor choice of words, indeed the tracking down issue like this
is anything but obvious; thanks for your time identifying this one!

For the record, `make distclean` is a more thorough variant of `make
clean`; distclean'ing a fresh source distribution should never
be necessary, although it is often a good first step just to make sure
things are in a known state.

Ahh, great find! Yes, it sounds like this issue is still not resolved
although the fact that it now only appears to occur on OS X boxen is
rather odd. Let's continue this discussion on the ticket.

Cheers,
