Re: very elusive ml-build issue

Update: the problem is now occurring on my computer too. I've spent 
hours trying to track this down, to no avail. I can't figure out what 
causes ml-build to think it's succeeding but not actually produce a heap 
file. It doesn't even appear to be deterministic.

It seems to have something to do with the .cm directories, because 
sometimes deleting them and trying again fixes the problem.
