At the risk of being picky, this is in the INSTALL file:
Initializing BBDB:
***************************************************************************
* *
* THE BBDB INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE CHANGED IN 1.57unoff. *
* *
* YOU *MUST* ADD *
* *
* (require 'bbdb) *
* (bbdb-initialize) *
* *
* TO YOUR BBDB INITIALIZATION CODE. THIS TAKES THE PLACE OF ALL BBDB *
* AUTOLOADS. IT DOES *NOT* TAKE THE PLACE OF THE INSINUATION CODE. *
* *
* If you do not add this code, you will receive keymap errors *
* (among other things) *
* *
***************************************************************************
For information on post-installation BBDB configuration and setup, see
the info file. (M-x bbdb, and press 'i' in the BBDB info window)

And this will just piss people off - there've already been threads
about BBDB's fairly-minimal messaging as it stands. The documentation
and a quick look at the code seems to indicate that (bbdb-initialize
'vm) should actually set up the relevant load-hook, so I'll check on
why that no longer works.

You're welcome! I think Robert Fenk has been doing more than me on
that front lately, though ;)

Zvi is entirely too amused by life for it to be Monday. Maybe it's Friday and
my calendar is wrong.
