Try running the 'product_files$(EXEEXT)' program (it's part of
'bin_PROGRAMS' in 'Makefile.am'):
  cd /opt/lmi/data; ../bin/product_files
That should overwrite these five files from the 2005 archive:
  sample.db4
  sample.fnd
  sample.pol
  sample.rnd
  sample.tir

I thought it was a much more difficult problem, but I tested
that idea here and it seems to work.

BTW, 'product_files$(EXEEXT)' is built and run as part of the
commands for the 'install' target in 'workhorse.make', but we
should not transplant that logic to 'Makefile.am'. Reason:
when we convert these five files to xml, that program becomes
unnecessary; and then we can make the xml backward compatible
so that no error like this will occur again.
