Thanks, that's it!  A week or so ago I did a rebase of some of my own
compiled dlls, and that seems to have added a large volume of windows
dlls to rebase.db.x86_64, including hal.dll :-(.

Not sure how to execute "[recovery] by doing a full rebase" -- I tried a
vanilla rebaseall, but that doesn't seem to have flushed the database,
although the date on it did change. . .

Thanks again,
