I believe all of the fixes were applied prior to the release, and that
they were all merged into the release branch, and hence should be present
in the final cut of 5.0.  The bugfixes were largely in the area of
snapshot handling, and so can be picked out of the CVS logs largely on the
file ffs_snapshot.c.  Most were for resource or locking deadlock issues.=20
