First step: I have removed the dependency on Structures_LinkedList in favour of the native SplDoublyLinkedList. All tests are passing, and I think I closed a few long-standing corner cases as well... Per PEAR rules, I have pushed File_MARC 0.8.0 beta. If a few hardy souls could give this a shot with their own applications and let me know if it all looks good, then I'll proceed with 1.0 stable on Friday.
