Sorry, that was unclear.  I meant that as an inclusive or, and as
opposed to doing an incremental build.

I'm still not able to reproduce the problem, but a different user
reported exactly the same problem...  which then went away.  So
something's definitely going on here.

So I've added Stefan to the CCs -- could you take a look at this?  It
looks like a possible problem with the recent eql changes, but is
weirdly difficult to reproduce.
