Did that earlier - didn't help.
HOWEVER:
I am set up with swappable hard drives (greatest thing since sliced
bread ;))
So I booted 5.1 with the 4.10 drive as slave, then copied the
5.1 files to the 4.10 drive.
Now (I wish I knew why) everything works!
I suspect either contamination by non-printing characters
or some subtlety involving space and tab characters.
