Sorry your timing constraints have not allowed you to make any further
contributions to this release, but that is the way it goes sometimes.  What
I am going to do is get out the release anyhow and mention in particular
that it is fine for Linux, but there are some cross-platform Unix issues
which we are still sorting out.  Once you do have a substantial improvement
in the configuration for even just one more platform, I would be willing to
put out one or more "patch" releases, 5.2.x, with your configuration (or
other) bug fixes.
