Was this the problem with compiling scorefile-test? Installing a new
compiler may have been good for other reasons, but I'd say it was
serious overkill for this... Compiling that file worked for me on
earlier builds, but when I did 0.94 I apparently was a bit low on
memory, and after cc1plus had been running for 6+ CPU *minutes* (800 MHz
PIII) at 400-450 MB, it apparently wanted more and got killed.

Dropping the -O2 it built in 8 CPU *seconds* at ~ 9 MB, and the result
still runs to completion in less that 30 ms (just in case anyone wants
to actually run it - it's a test program, not part of pan itself), so I
think that would be a useful change, to save some headaches for future
builders...
