Uhm, no thanks, really.  I'm not that brave.  I already run FreeBSD from
CVS & Emacs from CVS, if I start running X.org and GNOME from CVS too
I'll die from lack of sleep :P

Thanks for the fast reply though.

FWIW, the irssi bug turns out to have been a memory pointer corruption
that resulted from a function defaulting to a return type of `int'
because it lacked a proper prototype.

Jason,

is this related to the malloc changes in any way.  I'm curious why the
default return type of `int' wasn't a problem so far.  Has the
definition of userland pointers changed recently from a type that could
fit in an `int' to something larger?
