openais-0.80.3 from tarball has around 80 defects.  I'd recommend using
the latest svn with the confdb patches reverted.

openais-0.80.6 should be released within the next 30 days with confdb
backward compat and a possible defect in the cpg system under certain
testing done in the community.

I'd like to stress we really lock down source commits in whitetank
(0.80.x) to ensure high code quality since it has thousands of field
deployments and even little defects can have dreadful effects.
