Strange. I've been building pretty regularly recently with daisy on
Ubuntu 12.04 without problems.

There have been issues with Linux Mint, x64 hosts, and host
installations of Mono, but I thought I had finally addressed those. It's
starting to feel a little like a game of whack-a-mole.

Can you provide me your local.conf and I'll have a look at what happens
here with your hashes for  bbb on a Fedora box.

Thanks,
