Would you please send me the two different binaries?

  (Off-list, please, if you're worried about the binaries containing
  private information.)

I have a hunch.  If you touch globals.h in src, does it result in files
under the lwlib directory being rebuilt?

My guess is globals.h changed but lwlib was not incrementally rebuilt.
I guess this means lwlib/*.o has to be made to depend on
$(top_builddir)/globals.stamp or somesuch.  Thanks.
