How so? Users might still have reported the problem. In this case we hit the "copy-paste error into email and hit send" reflex of some TSVN users. So this problem is reported a lot of times and it stands out like a big red pimple on a nose. But, thankfully, those aren't the only kinds of problem reports we get. > And if the checksum is somehow mangled in 1.6, that may likely be a > problem of our doing too. I agree. But for all we know, it could just as well be some tool people run which happens to modify text-bases. The reports don't provide enough information about the source of the checksum error.
