I'm trying to work with both the EGCS and MICO guys right now to figure
out where the problem lies, but the last I've heard on the list is that
v1.1.1 is about to be released...is that not more stable then a
'development version'?

conformance side, and MICO might be doing something that the 1.1.x series
of EGCS wasn't too strict about, which is causing the breakage...
