Actually, it looks as if this is one of the (many) bugs in dtc that I =
fixed in a bunch of changes that I made (and didn=E2=80=99t get around =
to committing) last Christmas (https://github.com/davidchisnall/dtc).  =
Patrick Wildt tested the version that I was working on with a load of =
things from the GPL dtc test suite and they all passed.  I=E2=80=99m now =
running a make universe with the new version, and I=E2=80=99ll commit if =
there are no problems.
