Answering myself for anyone who finds this later via google etc - after compiling the latest version, the o/p was more helpful and it turns out that the "-g" parameter has a maximum value less than the default. The freshly compiled version runs (still doesn't do what I want, but we're getting there) with -g 6 on the command line.
