I guess there are a few of us remaining...

FWIW, I haven't been seeing these problems (on Solaris 8 SPARC).

AFAIK Wayne hasn't been working on it, and may not even be using it.
I was hoping that he might speak up.

Years ago the main holdup to releasing 4.0 was documentation.
He added three of us as "developers" on the project, but I must admit
I don't know exactly what that permits on SF, and I don't recall any
statement of any explicitly granted permissions (e.g. via cvs_acls).
Thusfar, the other two haven't posted to this thread, and their
remaining interest is unknown.  (As for myself, I took a quick look
at slrn many years ago and didn't like it as much.  I regret the
move to so many web forums and blogs, as skimming through them is
so much slower.)

Wayne is the only project adminstrator listed, so hopefully he will
make a statement of some kind.

Cheers,
Chuck
