Very strange.

Same error message.

This is not a failure, this is just added and annoying noise.  But
I've opened up http://jesaja.mi.uib.no/  for the outside world if
you want to have a look.

Correction: I'm not seeing it on 9.2 now - though I could swear I 
have been.  1.8.2 on SuSE 8.2 and 9.0 and 1.9.1 on SuSE 9.1 does 
give me that feedback both on my server and Markus'.

'fou4s -iu' with Server=http://jesaja.mi.uib.no/ in fou4s.conf
This web server does only fou4s patching of my clients and servers
so I haven't tested extensively other stuff.
