Thanks for verifying this for me!  Glad to see it's not just my system 
(for once).  It's not a big thing, although it'd be nice if it wasn't 
there at all.  However, the 1.4 release on the 68k Mac has been very 
solid and is a significant step forward.  I've only seen one crash that 
wasn't caused by a power failure and that may be due to running out of 
SWAP which is most certainly a cockpit error on my part.

Done.  I've also included the information you provided.

No hurry and even if you no longer have access I'm sure I'll hear from 
someone who does. I figure the first pass at building the packages will 
finish by next weekend. (It's only been running since late last month.)  
Then I've got a script that will run though on a second pass and try to 
pick up any straglers and updates do to changes, missing distfiles, etc.  
Maybe by the time 1.4.1 or 1.5 comes out I'll have them all built. ;-)
