4.39.3-1 bug or is it me - but 4.38.9-1 OK!

In Message.pm there is a subroutine called "PruneEntityTree".

Try this:
1. Change the call to it to say

PruneEntityTree($this->{entity},$this->{entity2file},$this->{file2entity});

and change the code for it:

# Prune all the undef branches out of an entity tree
sub PruneEntityTree {
  my ($entity,$entity2file,$file2entity) = @_;

  #print STDERR "Pruning $entity\n";
  return undef unless $entity;

  my(@newparts, $part, $newpart);

  # Do a pre-traversal depth-first search of the tree
  foreach $part ($entity->parts) {
    #print STDERR "Going down to $part\n";
    $newpart =
$newpart?PruneEntityTree($part,$entity2file,$file2entity):$part;
    if ($newpart) {
      push @newparts, $newpart;
    } else {
      my $file = $entity2file->{$newpart} if $entity2file;
      delete $entity2file->{$newpart} if $entity2file && $file;
      delete $file2entity->{$file} if $file2entity && $file;
    }
    #print STDERR "Coming up, added $newpart\n";
  }

  # Keep all the parts we found, prune as much as we can
  if (@newparts) {
    #print STDERR "Returning entity $entity\n";
    $entity->parts(\@newparts);
    return $entity;
  } else {
    #print STDERR "Returning undef\n";
    return $entity;
  }
}

Please see if that helps at all.

Are any of your warning files either empty or don't exist correctly?
Please check the startup logs for any warnings. If they are empty it
won't warn you but may cause a problem.
