Re: db problems in 1.0.2

Rob -

        We could never duplicate this issue on a 7.1 box, even a stock
non-updated 7.1 box.  I've tried with trees from Red Hat's FTP server
for 6.2, 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2, and they all built normally on a running 7.1
system.  Have you been able to find a cleanly-installed 7.1 box to test
with?

        There are several known bugs with 0.99 that have been fixed in
1.0.2; most of them have to do with multiple revisions combined with
multiple architectures, such as might be found in trees generated from
an rsync of Red Hat's FTP site or mirrors, so upgrading is definitely
recommended.
