Thanks to both of you for providing those binaries.

I've run all three binaries now on my latest version in parallel for
quite same time and it seems to hold up. Mark just told me privately
that these plus the arm64 fix he's working on survive that double
allocation test.

Let me go and write a cover letter and post the pile.
