Hehe, I wasn't really trying to imply that at all, but...  As it is, I'm
doing a new cvs checkout with out compression just to be able to compare
my source tree and find out why I can't get it to compile any more. If it
isn't the source tree, I'm dusting off my old pentium 233 MMX box and tossing
this system against a solid wall with MUCH VELOCITY.  I also have my eye on an
apple system, if I can get convinced that that hardware is stable/reliable.
