The common reason for this failure is a required DLL being rebased too high to be 
reachable from the location where the relocation is being updated.  Check the .exe 
with ldd: is the correct libflint*.dll being referred to?  (I.e., watch out for 
stale DLLs in /usr/local/bin and such.  Been there.)
