Hi, Graham.  The fixes for this particular problem are actually in
ieee12844pp.c, not ieee12844.c.  For now, if you don't want to mess with
CVS, then your best option would be to apply the "patch against 0.6"
available at http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/todo.shtml.  0.7 will have this fix
when it comes out.
