Hi!

Both the buildbot builds and my personal WinXP build works fine.

I don't know of any changes in the ascend thing lately.

Are you aware, that the SVN and release builds slightly differ? You need 
additional tools (e.g. from cygwin) to build the SVN build. Have a look 
at the "Ethereal Developers Guide" for WinXP setup at 
http://wiki.ethereal.com/Development

BTW: Did you tried calling the cleanbld.bat first?
