Zoltan's point that what we have here is far better and far less buggy than the last released version is quite correct. I have been using his versions for a long time on Sunos, OSF/1, and Nextstep, and have found his changes stable and generally free of problems, so there is little cause for worry there. Some of the patches that he incorporated are quite useful and I am not sure why they didn't make it into the mainstream release, but it is good to see them there now. Regards, - Irving
