The issue is known and appears to be a problem with a specific version of Apple's compilers generating incorrect ppc code. It goes away when you update to Apple's gcc 4.2 (or probably also when you revert to older compilers, although I didn't test that route specifically). However, I'm surprised that 2.5.1 would work *if* you had exactly the same setup, because the dbeta source code didn't change since 2.5.1 at all. Are you 100% sure that you had exactly the same compiler versions as now?
