ghc-6.8.1 on WinXP: windres: can't open font file `for'

I've just installed ghc-6.8.1 on my WinXP workstation (I already have it
successfully working on my laptop). When I compile anything, the linking
stage fails with:

  c:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\bin/windres: can't open font file `for': No such file
or directory

Any clues as to what's wrong? Google isn't very helpful... (I've
stripped my path back to just windows, windows\system32, and ghc, but no
joy).

P.S. output from ghc -v3 (trimmed):

Linking Main.exe ...
*** Windres:
c:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\bin/windres --preprocessor=c:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\gcc
-Bc:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\gcc-lib/ -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED
--input=C:/DOCUME~1/bayleya/LOCALS~1/Temp/ghc1480_0/ghc1480_0.rc
--output=C:/DOCUME~1/bayleya/LOCALS~1/Temp/ghc1480_0/ghc1480_0.o
--output-format=coff

c:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\bin/windres: can't open font file `for': No such file
or directory


The .rc file it is given contains:
1 24 MOVEABLE PURE "Main.exe.manifest"

so this "... font file 'for':..." message is a puzzle.
