uh, I saw the version and _still_ overlooked it, built current code by 
habit.

yes - I see that it breaks with 9.7zd (which is installed on my VM in 
/usr/bin).  But it doesn't break with 9.8e

At the moment I am normally running vile in /usr/local/bin on that
machine since there's a problem with the dpkg script - incorrect
pathname for vileget.

perhaps relevant:

9.7zf had a fix for sign-extension in xml-filt.l (my note says for 64-bit,
but I seem to recall this was addressing-related).
