It did just occur to me to check whether the package had been updated,
and it has; des@ upgraded it to 2.19.3 in late June, and because of
the way yaf gets started in my environment, while the binary was
silently replaced, the running daemon probably never got restarted
until I rebooted the server.  So now I've manually backed out the port
upgrade to see if that fixes matters.
