Hello,
I have released the source tar file for Bacula BETA 1.37.37 to Source Forge --
using ReleaseForge (a cool package). This release has two bug fixes one for
the mtx-changer script and one for drive busy error messages. Those of you

You will probably need to do two things to get a usable traceback.
1. Build Bacula with debug turned on, and ensure it is not stripped during the
