Yeah, I should really have asked the above, instead I asked about what script 
you started the build with so we got led down the wrong path - sorry about 
that.

OK, so this kind of explains it. To be perfectly honest the bitbake memory 
resident functionality (which Toaster uses behind the scenes) does have some 
holes in picking up changes, but I hadn't realised it would manifest in this 
particular manner. It seems like at the moment you'd need to stop and restart 
Toaster to be sure that the change gets picked up.

Would you be able to file a bug for this issue mentioning that you are using 
Toaster? Hopefully we can get some focus on fixing the behaviour.

Thanks,
Paul
