Sorry about that, folks.  I always seem to have problems copying/pasting 
into Thunderbird.  Let's try again.

Interesting.  If I run a version built from 12/15/2008 sources, I have 
the same problem.

When I boot a version I built in August 2008, but using the same world 
(i.e., boot up a different kernel but use the same hard drive as root, 
thus the same md5 program), I get the right answer.  Or at least the 
same answer consistently.

So, perhaps the problem occurred sometime between 8/1/2008 and 12/15/2008.
