 > Strange.  Kathy and I did standalone (non-gitian) builds for both Mac OS
 and Linux64 this morning and did not encounter the problems you found.  I
 just started a gitian-based build to see if that makes a difference (but
 that build will take a while to complete even though I am only building
 for Linux).

 It looked again and these problems seemed to be caused by me not having a
 recent Torbutton in the profile (for whatever reason). Sorry for the
 noise. Testing it it looks good.
