Just a note of closure for those who might still wish to help, and thanks to all those who have.
I only wish I could say that it was something obvious that I found needing to be fixed. It's one of those things where I just tried uninstalling and re-installing, and somewhere along the line, I arrived with an a.out file. That's a good thing I suppose. :) Hopefully for the sake of the 8.2 release this was an uncommon and isolated post-install incident. Peace to all, and with all I desire peace, Steven
