Unfortunately I had not updated or been building for around a month so 
while reproducible on my current build I cannot say when over the last 
month the issue turned up! I will keep updating and keep investigating 
to see if I can come up with a suggestion.

I do have a quite a high parallel build at 12 threads, which has caused 
problems in the past.

Regards,
Jack.
