Evidently, this is a problem with the 4.72 version currently unmasked in portage. Others on the gentoo-user list report that this problem is gone in more recent versions compiled from scratch. Doesn't seem to be a gentoo bug, but rather something upstream (that's been fixed in more recent versions, anyway), so I'm going to go ahead and resolve my own bug. I'll unmask the 5.2.14 version in portage and test it some. Please unmask it as soon as it is ready. (And make it ready soon. ;) )
