RE: Errors with socketmapd.0.31.pl

Hello, Mark. Thanks for the detailed points below. Nice to know I don't 
need libsrs2; keeps the bloat down in the binary and the work. :-) Thanks 
for the prompt reply. I was set to upgrade a number of servers tomorrow 
after the success with the -DSOCKETMAP flag on the first. It would have 
been really nasty to have to go back and redo them all! I will, as you 
suggest, upgrade to 0.32rc3. Socketmapd rocks! :-)
