I've been including that patch (merged from the 1.0.0 branch) for the last
three releases. Yes, it has to be included (patched/merged) into each
build.

Fortunately, that should change tomorrow with the release of the 1.0.4 as
the patch to fix it (which is in trunk) is now scheduled to be merged in
to 1.0.X branch tomorrow before 1.0.4 is released.

Hmm. Well, sort of. But I really like just typing "make" or "make
RELEASE=1" in the working copy to build a complete system. Along the way,
it generates a tar-ball, so if anyone else comes along and tries to just
build from the tar-ball, that works also. Maybe "pre-prestine" source
code? :-)

No, I've never done that before.

Great! Thanks! I'll download it and put it on my server! Should be
duplicated on to the UK mirror by the next day.
