CVS after Ben merge - how is this *supposed* to work??

Whats wrong with this picture? (cut and pasted from output of 'make' with 'EMACSDEBUGPATHS=1'): ./xemacs -nd -no-packages -batch -l /home/valdis/src/xemacs-21.5/src/../lisp/loadup.el dump Loading /home/valdis/src/xemacs-21.5/src/../lisp/loadup.el...

Does it work for others? It's been a *bad* night - between this and trying to get CVS 1.11.1p1 to build under Digital Unix ('make check' bombed - turned out it was comparing the version to a regexp '[0-9.]*' and the 'p' made it blow chunks). /Valdis (who has had his fill of "how the <bleep> did it work for anybody" problems tonight. It's 6AM, time to find some breakfast)
