Well, I deleted my .newsrc files and started fresh with 0.98.  I
started going through the list of bugs (all of them quite significant
IMO) that I submitted against 0.96 in August, and so far 3 of 3 are
still in 0.98, so I'm submitting them again as I re-confirm them with
0.98.  I guess it's my bad luck that I like to use all the broken
features....
