Thank you for the bug report and update. The instance of GNATS on my workstation has been down since I switched distros from Debian to Gentoo, and I haven't had time to bring it back on-line. I'll work on that this weekend. In any case, I'll commit the fix to CVS tonight. Also in the works is updating all of the copyright licenses to GPL/LGPL v3. I did a cursory license "audit" on the copyrighted code. The only thing I could come up with as being non-GPLv2 is the MIT Kerberos 4 code. The copyright notice (a header file) was missing, so I re-added one from a similar project on-line. The kerberos code seems to be a bit broken now, and doesn't compile correctly anyway -- my attempt at an acinclude.m4 file to account for this old code has some obvious flaws. I'll make another attempt at debugging the build code, but I'll make no promises. We really should think about replacing it with the GNU gssapi stuff anyway. All of our other files had copyright headers stating GPLv2, so I've updated those and committed the changes to CVS. We should be talking release Real Soon Now (TM) for 4.2, which I don't think the broken kerberos build should block. I know I've been saying this for a while now, but with the GPL upgrade, it's time. There is a submitted patch I will be rolling in for serializing the email submission queue, rather than using random tempfile names. If anyone else has CVS commit access and wants to get something rolled in before the release, now is the time to do it. I will making a CVS snapshot tarball this Sunday, 16 September, and uploading it to alpha. Thanks for your hard work and patience! Chad
