Segfault during parrot "make" at r40248

[Austin Hastings]

Bizarrely, the problem has disappeared.

I ran that same sequence twice, before sending the message, so as to 
confirm I was doing exactly what I described.

Afterwards, I started an svn-bisect --min 40200, and got good results 
right back up to r40248. I then updated to 251, and got a good result there.

This might mean that some artifact is being created by one of the 
earlier revs and left lying around. Or it might mean that my computer 
can only compile parrot when the output of C<date> has odd parity.

Anyway, ignore this if you like.
