OTOH, I really did not want to start testing _again_, and people have been waiting for this release because of the Solaris regression. Will have a look at it after I'm done forward-porting the couple of patches which are in branch-1-5 only ATM. Unless the other maintainers beat me for it, I will still work on bugs in all three branches, getting 2.0 out should be the prime objective, however. Regards, Ralf
