No, but I have not tried to build the regular desktop version for a week or so.

However, I did see issues about Flex a few months ago, don't really
remember why or even what files, but I changed some Csound code as a
result.

I haven't changed anything in my build setup since the last build. On another note, did the API change in the latest release? Is csoundCompileCsdText() new?

I committed a major change yesterday. It is just possible that it reacts 
with Windows line endings but should not.  I have been running the code in 
Linux for over a week now with no issues.

The problem was definitely with the flex not running properly (not forking).
