That seems bizarre. You've said that --build-type=complete alone does not
cause this problem. Can you identify a minimal set of additional options
that cause this problem? Once that done, can you add additional '-n -d0 -d+10'
options and send me the output? It's gonna be big, so personal email might
be best choice. -d+10 enables profiling, so I'll be able to figure what
piece of code is misbehaving.
