Hmm..that must mean that the entries created by your new 3.2 binaries
must be corrupting the file (even if it was nuked and had to be re-created)

Or perhaps, you still have some 2.x stuff floating around that is
the cause ?

in a similar situation to this I found out ssh was the culprit..a quick
recompile of it did the trick

Hope this helps,
