Well, that is certainly interesting.  I will take a look, and let you know
what the problem seems to be.

By the way, I had an interesting time getting the binary, due to your
website not believing I was in the US.  I was trying to download
on a w2k machine with ip in the 139.62.33.x range, which was not
recognized, but it worked just fine on a linux machine on
1396.62.200.198.
