Nope,

No changes, I also did a diff between the buildlogs, no new compiler warnings 
or anything like that.

I did build it with gcc-4.3, as I was working on it not building with gcc-4.3 too.

I've just committed my latest 8Kingdoms work to cvs, so you can get it from 
there, including a patch for the crash you reported (tested using tcl 8.4).

Thanks,
