 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.
