That's normal. What happened is that Marc Feeley did some incompatible
changes to Gambit that broke Jazz *after* he released 404001. Because of
that I updated the latest Jazz to force people to have that version of
Gambit (that's the stamp 20090224172537). You simply need to go in your
Gambit directory and update to the latest by pulling from the Gambit repo
(make update).
