As you can see from my headers, I'm on the d447f7c commit here.  And that 
should be the correct URL.  I do see the 0a57a01 you mention, back in 
March, about 10 commits back, including a couple use-after-free bugfixes 
so updating is important.

Well, on gentoo, my live ebuild actually has a git URL and an http URL, 
both of which /should/ lead to the same sources:

git://git.gnome.org/pan2
http://git.gnome.org/browse/pan2

Maybe you're building without actually updating the sources?

That's a known issue.  There's a workaround but I don't have time to 
explain it ATM.  Punting until later on that..

That sounds like a filesystem issue, tho getting current sources is 
probably a good idea anyway.
