[Box Backup] Assertion failure

OK, that explains it, thanks.

I deliberately hacked the makebuildenv.pl to remove the RELEASE flag, 
because I wanted to see the debugging messages, hoping that they would 
help me to work out why exclusions aren't working for me, in the spirit of 
Kernighan's views about preferring debug statements to debugger sessions. 
However, they turned out not to be as useful as I hoped, and I hadn't 
anticipated the side effects. Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers, Chris.
