]Oops.. Not the same change as the patch.. Was it something about line
]endings?

OMG, you're right. Hopefully it is fixed now. For those who don't know,
I am running windows, and sometimes spend more time fighting tab and
end of line style problems than I do on actual work.

For one thing, I need to start attaching patches to emails in addition
to inlining them because microsoft immediatley removes the tabs. In 
addition, I now know I have to watch the end of line style and now rely
on the tools to handle it.

By the way, that is what the domain name notabs refers to. Tabs are such
a problem for software development in the windows world that many groups
enforce a notabs policy. But even this takes constant policing to work.

Thanks,
Scott
