Ah....  Sometimes when I'm making this type of update, I'll download from
sourceforge into a clean directory and attempt a recompile to check for
this type of thing....  Yes, that takes added time.....

I suspect they will keep development seperated from regular users due to
bandwidth issues......  Now, they might get the frequence of updating the
backup servers (that regular users access) increased.....  At one point I
saw something saying they wanted to increase from once a day to four times
a day (every six hours instead of the original 24 hour update).....

Take care.
