BTW George: there are plenty of 6.1.xxxxxxx snapshots available - these
are the 6.2 prereleases.

There are, but no recent ones. What I would like to have had is a 6.2-epsilon version, not 6.1 and a bit.

We don't snapshot along the STABLE branch at
the moment; no real deep reason, we'd just have to figure out a version
numbering scheme, and this might upset various scripts that expect to
parse the GHC version number.  Since you have to build from source
anyway, why not download the sources from CVS?

The problem with downloading things direct from CVS is that I don't expect people to run substantial tests before checking things into CVS. (We don't on our CVS server.) Of course I don't expect a snapshot release to have the same reliability as a real release, but at least snapshot releases seem to compile and succeed in compiling themselves.

Anyway Simon, is there a workaround to the sockets problem I posted or not?
