I think that's the best thing to do. We've already got a similar caveat issue with libsvn_diff, linux (and some other OSes), 32-bit archs, and the perl bindings. There's a fix for it in apr's CVS tree. In the case of upstream bugs that we know will be fixed I think this is the logical thing to do. Applying ugly hacks to work around problems that are going to go away just isn't appealing. :) -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "Conscience is the inner voice which warns us somebody may be looking." - H.L.
