That's what I thought at first too. I have done both of them three times
now. Every time 7.1 fails, and 7.1rc4 succeeds. That was also part of my
confusion in the versioning. It seemed to me that 7.1rc4 was a patch
level to 7.1 because 7.1 appears to be broken.

I used to have 6.5.3 or some other earlier version installed on this
machine, but I'm pretty sure I successfully removed it. Maybe I still
have some cruft laying around that 7.1 sees, but 7.1rc4 does not...? Any
ideas?
