    Very odd.  It seems to work fine when I try it (by logging in as
    'installer').

    Maybe there's a memory corruption issue in the installer and the
    problem is due to some prior action.  When you select 'Europe'
    it does have to allocate fairly large list to generate the next
    menu.
