Hi,

The c9x complex failures were caused by Russ Brown's NAB/solaris work.
Ive been planning to re-fix this, but havent gotten to it.
The bad news is that Gustavo is apparently the first (except for nightly
testing) to build amber tools since Wed, 30 Jul 2008.

The more we developers use it, the better it becomes.
