This is after immediately running "make clean install iso" (no "dist").

I also changed the cipe & dialog scripts to copy binaries to $CDDIR.
Doesn't seem like that would cause this problem, would it?

The make command is still on my xterm window.  Scrolling back, I see:

Did you create a new etc, or use an old one off media?
You wouldn't see the problem if you used an old /etc.

List out the etc tar file on your new ISO and see if 
there are any links in the rc?.d directories.
