Thanks, I've upgraded and I'll grab them again.  (A slow process.)  The 
400-odd MARC records I got (from open Z39.50 servers) are riddled with 
errors so I think I'm going to have to run through each one, check it with 
MARC::Lint, and toss anything imperfect.  I'm not sure how many will 
survive.
