Hi Andreas and everybody,

I just realised that two monthes after we closed #807580, some
subdirectories of the UCSC source code tree have been freed,
especially src/inc, src/lib and src/utils:

http://genome-source.cse.ucsc.edu/gitweb/?p=kent.git;a=commit;h=271f311304ad01b5fd86f8f1e08a17a44e47323a

Does that solve our problem ?

Have a nice week-end,
