FYI, I had built 4.6 on both FC-11 and FC-12 and this
phenomenon did not occur on either of those systems.
So I bet it's either some quirk of FC-14, or else some
thing weird that I somehow did. Also, the same thing
happens when I run 4.5.1 on this FC-14 install. So,
it's definitely not anything to do with sage 4.6.
