Dear Torsten,

I checked in a change in the svn trunk of Mozart.  Can you give it a try?  I
personally tested it with the Oz Minesweeper applet, which was still in the
former pickle format, and it worked :-)

If testing succeeds, I will include it in the maintenance branch, and maybe
push for a Mozart 1.4.1 release.

Cheers,
raph
