It should be fixed now.  This was a long-standing bug but I don't see
why it was triggered at this time unless someone was messing with the
setup.ini file.

I'll say this again, just in case it isn't clear: Don't tamper with the
setup.ini file.  Don't delete it or edit it or move it.  I've now locked
down on the permissions in the directory which holds the setup.ini file
so it shouldn't be possible to change it but I know that where there is
a will...  So, I'm sending this message too.

It's possible that something else caused this problem but I just wanted
to send out my regular reminder about this for all of the people who
have login access to sourceware.
