I tried compiling 0.1.14 on my new machine last week, and it failed. I 
suspect it is a gcc version issue. The version from CVS compiled without 
a problem though. I suggest that it is time to release a version 0.1.15, 
as the current lastest release does not compile with the latest Linux 
releases.

Regards,

David
