Ok, I guess this is HEAD, right? I think you just had bad luck.

I break this here:

	Date: Sat Dec  5 14:24:22 2009
	New Revision: 200125

And fixed here:

	Date: Sat Dec  5 20:16:28 2009
	New Revision: 200158

It looks like you get the source from this window.

Please rebuild with r200158 in place and retry. Sorry for the breakage.
