Okay, that puts me back in the old place. Aha! The test suite doesn't
clean up after itself properly - there was an older-format .flint
directory in place, so we got:
DatabaseOpeningError exception: REMOTE:Flint version file
.flint/db=apitest_simpledata/iamflint is version 200506110 but I
only understand 200611200u
deleting the .flint directory and contents seems to have fixed that.

Pity it's so annoyingly inept at various C++-isms. Ho hum.

I've put g++-2.95 back, so arm should work again...
