That's a pretty strong statement.  I'm aware of bugs in 2.96.x
and 3.1 but 3.2?  I don't see anything in the docs about this either.

I'm not disputing you.  I'm only asking if your statement is made
based on a deep understanding and pretty certain knowledge or
just a guess.  (My knowledge about these things is nearly _zero_
other than what I've read.)

I'd love to get the thing compiled so any help will be appreciated.

P.S. To anyone else willing to help me, please see my original
     post on this from last week.  It contains the details of what I did to
     get this error.
