Sounds great.

Well, I've been trying to get it out, and I keep getting pulled into doing
bugfixing in other things.  I am now trying in earnest to get a release out
ASAP.  I checked in an updated Changelog this morning, fixed and closed a few
bugs before I got pulled off to do some other things.

I still have some patches from Vladimir that need to be merged that I know of.
Mark is looking into the remaining 'df' problems.  I am _very_ hopeful that I
can get things pulled together tonight for a release sometime tomorrow.  Of
course, I've said that before...

Regardless, whether your syslogd updates are finished in time or not, 
the release will still go out.  It has been delayed far longer then I 
ever expected.
