It's like deja vu all over again.  I had this problem and I think the
fix was to get the current config soruce and rebuild it (or I got
the previous config and used it???)  It's been a while so I don't recall
for sure.  Try rebuilding hte config that you have and see if it's
different that the binary that's currently there.

Good luck,
Paul
