Thanks. I was really curious why it had not been updating. As much
as I like and depend on it, there are some very annoying problems.
I suspect they'll be gone when the upgrade happens, especially
if we're talking about a year's worth of forward motion appearing
all in one go. I'll not bore anyone here with my tales of sudden
death while printing to file, an SSL authentication form for a
bank which I have to use Netscape for, etc... until I see if the
new one fixes it all.

Yes, I noticed that. Considering the huge number of
packages that are backed up because of zlib, I'd presume
that *someone* must consider it an extremely urgent matter
to get it sorted.
