This is now fixed.  I would like to ask, yet again, why something like
this was brought up on the list?  Someone could have contacted us directly
or even filed a bug.  Please think before posting to this list, its too
chatty as it is and is _NOT_ the correct place to go looking for actions
to be taken on specific packages and bugs that aren't philosophical in
nature.
