thanks

Cornelis, 

Thanks for the bug report.  I have already been communicating with the
upstream author about the ptential problems (like this) that might arise
from writing config files on the fly into the current working directory.
I am not convinced that this is grave, though.  You can simply remove
the releaseforge.cfg and releaseforge.log that are written into the
current working directory, and the program will run just fine again.

Phil,

This is another one of those complications that can be easily fixed by
writing the config files to $HOME/.releaseforge/ right away instead of
to $CWD.  That would also fix the case where the user has no permission
to write in $CWD.  Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you
out on that.  (I am by no means a zen master of Python programming, but
if there is anything I can do, I will.)  Also, let me know if you also
want me to submit this via your SF bug tracker.

-Roberto
