Ok, so it's definitely something about your configuration. Maybe
something in the 11,2 support code chokes on single-chip configs, I
don't have one of them to test, both mines are dual chip (ie. quad
core).

But it does look like a regression that should be bisectable, so let me
know went you're done there and what you get.

Cheers,
Ben.
