This was actually a fix because of PGP.  Dchanges apparently tried to
sign it as "Brian White <bcwhite@pobox.com>" when I have it written as
"Brian C. White <bcwhite@pobox.com>".  I'm not too familiar with PGP,
but if dchanges just asked "bcwhite@pobox.com" would that fix the problem
I am having?

                                        Brian
                               ( bcwhite@verisim.com )

    In theory, theory and practice are the same.  In practice, they're not.
