There are problems on other platforms as well.  I haven't seen any reports
on Linux platforms yet, but OS X was segfaulting at least.  That alone makes
me wary of putting it in cooker at this point.

Yes.  Look for 1.2.[ver]mdk; those contain the updated patch for the older
distribs.  8mdk for cooker has the updated patch.

I didn't announce the 1.2.x packages last night because at 2am I was too
tired and wasn't sure if there would be a third round of building.  The
packages were uploaded last night, however, and announced first thing this
morning after verifying that (at this point) another rebuild wouldn't be
necessary.

You are not alone on that one.
