My apologies about that patch. GCC 4.9.3 insists on putting the added string in a location that's separate from the previous three.
I'm attaching a patch that works without breaking the splash screen (built, tested on a camera and with CHIMP vNEXT).
OK, I've checked into trunk. I'm going to let it sit a little a day or two before moving over to the stable branch.
I admit I'm starting to have reservations about this. I put the first version in because it seemed easy and harmless, but I'm wondering if we really want the version string to be an interface that has compatibility implications?
Also just FYI, the last patch was reversed.
