Hi, Apologies for the slightly off-topic post, but I haven't found a way to contact John Graham-Cumming directly, short of signing up with Twitter. I'm posting here in hopes he might see it, or perhaps someone who knows him could pass it along.
I recently downloaded gmsl from Sourceforge, and I discovered that the tar file is a bit odd. It contains a file named README, which is actually a compressed tar file that contains the same files as the containing tar file, sans the README.
