I think this is a Mac OS X specific problem; I tried compiling a clean
checkout on Linux, and it worked fine.  On a Mac OS box, I get the
same result as you.  It's quite confusing, but I'll try and take a
look at what's going wrong in a bit.

Meanwhile, the generated sources seem to work fine for me on MacOS, so
if you're in a hurry I suggest building the stemmer code on Linux.
