[ We investigated this via private email. ]

The problem was due to Oxxx/mp.c not being rebuilt. This file is concatenated
from many smaller files in src/kernel/*; these were updated by cvs but, for
some reason, 'make' failed to take notice [ probably incorrect timestamps ].

Removing Oxxx/mp.c solved the problem. 'make clean' did not solve it since
mp.c had been forgotten from the list of files to be deleted [ I added it ].
