I hope to have this fixed in the next day or two, but depending on how 
my schedule works out it may be as late as this weekend. I have started 
on the fixes, and I don't expect them to take too much longer; testing 
is where most of the time will be involved. In addition to testing with 
the included test scripts, I'd also like to test against some M::B ready 
modules from CPAN (both XS & pure perl). Does anyone have a list of such 
modules?
