I am reachable, just very short of time and hence slow to respond...

I still do minor things when prompted like list admin, but I probably 
don't have time to do a release right now... so if someone else could do 
it that would be great. Have a look at the end of README.CVS for a rough 
checklist of things to do for a release.

On this particular issue, I've not been keeping up much, but I vaugely 
recall that there was some ambiguity if the problem was fixed after the 
patch went in (see bug #1110812). However, the patch #1439412 definitely 
fixed one problem and is worth a release for.

Boy, SF is pretty flakey ATM... it is giving me intermittent 500's. I'll 
have a bit of a poke around at the source and see if there are any quick 
things I can do to prepare for a release...
