I deleted /usr/local/{bin,doc,include,lib}/parrot (or something very
close to that), rsynced from the repo and rebuilt. This time the install
went perfectly, although the test suite issued a certain amount of smoke.

Thus the bug may be closed. I see that the install process now says
WARNING:
Installing Parrot may interfere with developing Parrot
on the same machine. This is a temporary flaw in the
Parrot build system. If you are not sure this is OK,
press ^C (or your interrupt key) in the next ten seconds.
It might be worth pointing out here what the work-around is:
if the install dumps core, remove the installed version (and what files
in question are).
Thanks,
David
