I want to thank everyone who helped out with testing these builds. The
input was very positive and the result of the input is that unless
someone now comes up with a *extremely* good reason to take these
changes out, they will be in Netscape 6.1 (read, they're in, unless they
cause the moon to fall down to earth, or something as disastrous as that
:-). As a side effect of the the testing that was done to test these
builds a new (unrelated) crash bug was filed on the range code and I
managed to get that problem fixed on the branch as well.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated.
