The snapshots should be labelled as to what they are.  1.4.2_ALPHA is the
one leading to the 1.4.2 release, current-somedate is a -current built from
sources as of 'somedate'.

So, current-1991207 is built from -current Dec 7 sources.   (And I really
need to make a new one; I've been waiting for a cable modem connection
which was supposed to be available by now, but might be some time yet.) :-(

Faith is the quality that enables you to eat blackberry jam on a picnic
without looking to see whether the seeds move.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
