Latest was pre-weekend; I'm just completing a fresh build now, so I hope
this'll lick the problem, thanks. (Incidentally this might well be worth
documenting in UPDATING since it's an issue that's been plaguing me [and
a few correspondents, according to emails I've had] for a while.)
Well, I'm pleased to report what looks like success: as Mike indicated,
PSE is now disabled automatically by default. I've tried repeating the
activities which have recently been triggering memory corruption - so
far with no ill effects. I'll keep the stress tests running overnight.
