After some faffing I found that every attempt to run
<path/to/current/build> thconfig in the samples directores produces a
segfault as soon as therion tried to write out a file. 

samples.tcl doesn't seem to notice that every therion run has failed.
That looks like a bug somewhere. Also every therion.log file is empty.
I guess therion explodes before writing anything into those, even
though I see some TeX output on the screen.

Something appears to be badly wrong in that I am getting segfaults,
but that the sample-building process fails to notice that seems like
it could be improved.

Bedtime for today - more soon.
