Sigh, it's become clear that I really need a 5.1 system up for testing, especially since 4.2 is reportedly becoming hard to find. In the works.

That's odd... although it is probably safe to assume that snapshot code should be compiled with full debugging, both because you may need it and because it probably hasn't been tested any other way... (We're now making a point of being sure the releases will compile with debugging off, but in the snapshots it's anyone's guess.)

Something funny going on... although it's possible that changes are underway and the snapshot is temporarily inconsistent.

Supposed to be possible, yes. Again, might be temporarily broken...
