One more point of information:

The old 'memtestplus' image is the same version as the newer broken 
images.  Both are

        # strings /memtestplus | grep 'test86 '
              Memtest86  v4.20

so whatever the problem is, it would seem to be a change in the pkgsrc 
build environment, and not in memtest itself.
