Thanks for these; it would of course have been nice to hear these back 
before the release, but I guess we can alway try for next time.

The 'adding route' freeze irritates the *&^%( out of me.  There are 
several different things that can go wrong at this point and there's no 
easy way to tell which one it is.

Did it fix the problem for you here ultimately?

This is one that Jordan will have to field; it looks like something has 
forgotten the unit number somewhere along the way.  Definitely bad.

I don't think that the a.out X libraries get installed by default.  (I 
could be wrong about this.)  If there's nothing in /usr/X11R6/lib/aout, 
then that's the problem.  In that case, we'll need to provide them too.
