Bill is not in yet, but I get clean runs of our current 
pristine externals (viz., not with the field width patch) on 
both Debian Testing 32 and 64 bit chassis, using sample single 
line, culled from the ./exs/bars script. One of the first 
rules on such debugging (and I am as guilty as any other in 
racing to where I _think) the problem is) is not first running 
through existing code to verify it is working.  While Ubuntu 
is not Debian [we noted a problem with a broken GCC varaint 
in Ubuntu back at the start of the year], I assume you have 
run updates, etc.

Older code, and local patches introduce two possible points 
for partition of defect, and as we note on the webpage, 
"Often, our response is a request to 'upgrade to current'", 
which is where our interest usually is for FOSS users 
(commercial support stabilized side trees are not in scope 
here).  Then with only one point left, I have to look to the 
external patches as a possible source of an unintended side 
effect.  Possible, but not known to be the issue.  We know of 
the field width issue, and have a tentative long term fix in 
design (contrary to our regular practice Bill and I took an 
hour last Thursday to talk through some ramifications on our 
tentative approach) which will probably come up in our next 
design meeting yet again.
