"make clean" deletes all of the files that are generated when running
"make", so it forces a full re-compile of all of the source files.

I *think* this issue might be related to a change in the parameters used
for one of the internal Hobbit functions. If "make" doesn't get the
dependencies right it may not re-compile all of the source-files that
this change affected, so you will end up with some calls to the function
using one set of parameters, and other calls to the function using a 
different set of parameters. Needless to say, this can cause all sorts
of weird problems.
