nope, they are not. Slink has 0.20.3; potato has 0.53.0. The version in
potato is compiled on a slink system, but that's another thing.

Because:
a) none of the reported bugs have been fixed. I've been looking at some of
them, but haven't had the time to fix them proper.
b) there are some upstream patches, but none of them fix any important bugs,
IMO.
c) I haven't been able to reproduce some of the reported bugs
If you report a bug (where you can tell me what problems are you having with
the current version) I'll be more than happy to look into it.
