I'm rather ignoring this because I don't see these errors here.  This
is one of the problems of just throwing out build reports.  With zero
information such as a configuration or a method on how to cause the
errors, it's pretty much worthless to post errors.

Folk who do build testing need to be smarter, and consider what it's
like to be on the receiving end of their report emails...
