I didn't intend to claim otherwise. The only question is: should it be fixed by reverting CVS to the old behaviour; or lived with by declaring 1.11 and 1.11.2 to be not-quite-interoperable (despite the original intention to the contrary), telling people to upgrade old installations, and thus letting the problem die away on its own over time? That would depend on how compelling were the reasons for the change in the first place; I can't speak to that, so I remain agnostic as to which approach is to be preferred. The bug has been known for some time, and CVS hasn't been reverted yet, so I think that suggests which way the current maintainers are leaning. I trust they have their reasons :-) -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.
