The problem that caused me to waste so much time on identifying the problem was that I somehow thought I had the latest tarballs from which I made the installation, and the tiny difference between "-2" and "-3" in the file names is hard to spot, especially since the version-specific files under libexec all go into .../8.2.0/.
