The above tarball has a few problems, the version string encoded in the
pre-generated source files is "version 12.08beta-mc1", not 
"rotd-2013-04-27" -- you presumably left an old copy of VERSION lying
around.  Also we now build the source distribution in the hlc.gc.pregen
grade (i.e. HIGHLEVEL_CODE shoud equal "yes" in the comments at the
head of the pre-generated .c files).  Since you didn't use the pregen
grades here it's likely that this particular tarball is affected
by the problems that grade was intended to fix (i.e. it's broken).

Can you please remove it from the download page.

Cheers,
Julien.
