I copied you binaries ontop of mine against a texmf/texmf-dist
checkout and regenerated the maps and formats:

This is a summary of all `failed' messages and warnings:

Not sure why these are. I tried running the first one to see what
happened exactly:
---8<---
dec21# pdftex -ini  -jobname=physe -progname=physe physe.ini

This looks like some binary compatibility issue.

Also I tried building that document again, as in theory pdflatex
should work (its format *was* generated).

---8<---
Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (12.0pt):
 Make it at least 13.59999pt.
 We now make it that large for the rest of the document.
 This may cause the page layout to be inconsistent, however.

[2pdflatex: isat2: File too large
gmake: *** [all] Error 1
---8<---

Something is very wrong.

Any ideas?
