I should have pasted the output of the 'ps' command I did immediately
after this error.  Here it is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mhw:~/guix-core-updates$ ./pre-inst-env guix build -S expect lua zip pth bazaar ocaml

Notice that there's another 'guix-daemon' process here (pid 14429) which
I didn't start, and which has "--build-users-group=guix-builder" but is
missing "--no-substitutes".

Could it be that there's some code in 'guix-daemon' that launches
another 'guix-daemon' subprocess, and which takes care to propagate some
of the options but not all of them?

      Mark
