Stupid me ... - interestingly it was *MISSING* on my system, no idea how
it disappeared.

Good, as it should be.

AFAIS this is the same bug we had with teTeX and jadetex. The fix for
fmtutil(-sys) has been incorporated into the next version of the texlive
packages.

GLOSSOP (n.)
A rouge blob of food. Glossops, which are generally streaming hot and
highly adhesive invariably fall off your spoon and on to the surface
of your host's highly polished antique-rosewood dining table. If this
has not, or may not have, been noticed by the company present, swanage
(q.v.) may be employed.
