Strangely, it worked with 1.5.3.8. But I just tried to reproduce it  
and now I can't, so there must have been some error in my procedure.  
Doh. The bizarre thing is that in preparing these emails I tested it  
at least twice, which means I must have made the exact same mistake at  
least twice...

That works. Thanks.

It's an acceptable workaround (the other is installing /usr instead  
of /usr/local). Seeing as it worked in 1.5.3.8, does this qualify as  
breakage, or should we not worry about it?

Cheers,
