We really need to build a new version from cvs. Adam is going to tag the cvs
tree for 2.3.2. This should happen soon, I'm not sure what we are waiting on.
Whatever it is we probably shouldn't be waiting on it. Once it is tagged I'll
build a new set for i386.

Let's not go there, forget I said anything, building from CVS is rather involved
and not something we should have our valuable tester time spent on.

yes, you are right, I shouldn't have suggested cvs. I wasn't aware that this
was part of large scale testing. IMO we should be build a new version from cvs
that has many bugs fixed.
