Oh, I agree completely. I certainly didn't mean to imply that it wasn't important to find the cause ;) My apologies, I thought it would be slightly funnier without an explanation giving it away. I haven't noticed anything personally on my -stable machines, but perhaps if Johannes or someone else who's noticed it wants to be adventurous, and has a fast enough machine to do several buildworlds without too much pain, he could try a binary search with the CVS/CVSup dates and find out when the change happened. OFFTOPIC: Is anyone else experiencing odd delays with the mailing lists? For example, I got Ian's reply to Oliver, but have yet to receive Oliver's original reply to me (both sent to stable@). Both messages are in the archive already. I've seen many messages from both stable@ and current@ arriving quite out of order (some by several hours), so I suspect it will show up in my mailbox later. I'm inclined to think that there's a problem with my local MTA/DNS/etc., but I don't see the problem on other lists such as Bugtraq or my personal mail...
