Okay, I meant to reply to this, but  I keep accidentally (stupidly?) using
another email address, hence my message not making it through.

Anyways, here is my reply to myself...


Basically after numerous tries and different values for MAXJOBS, I seem to
get the waif problem every time now.  Apparently the first success was just
some kind of fluke, unfortunately.  I may fool around with it a bit more,
but maybe it's a waste of time, considering it takes 3 seconds to comment
out some code like you suggested, Axel.

That said, I still plan the R5 install this week, since using that as a
build platform should potentially resolve these Dano/Zeta issues.
