Sage 4.1.alpha2 has been released, find it at

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/boothby/releases

As with 4.1.alpha1, there are two known doctest failures.  One is very
simple to fix, and the other might be tricky.  I made an attempt at
solving them, but William claims that my fix will break osx10.4.  I'd
appreciate it if somebody could take a look at this.

Also, popen has been deprecated.  We're getting warnings in a few
places, and this should be resolved before sage-4.1 is released.
Robert Miller is taking over, and the plan is to have him close
