This bug has been reported and fixed.

I keep it in /usr/src/slash, and do `cvs update -dP`, then `make; make
istall`.  No worries.  The caveats:

* If you did not install-slashsite with symlinks in htdocs (one of the
options in install-slashsite), then your .pl files, etc. will not be
upgraded.

* If there are any changes to httpd/slash.conf or
site/sitename/sitename.conf (in install-slashsite), those will not get
carried over automatically.

* Your templates will not be upgraded.  You need to do this by hand.  What
I do is dump them (using template-tool) to a directory (read the docs on
template-tool), and then run something like:

	diff -Bu ./ /usr/local/slash/themes/slashcode/templates \
		| grep -v '^Only in ' | less

Then replace "/usr/local/slash/themes/slashcode/templates" with
"/usr/local/slash/plugins/PLUGIN/templates", where * is Admin, Search,
Ladybug, CheesyPortal, Journal, and any other plugin you've installed that
has templates.

Then you see what changes, and you can make changes appropriately.

* After done upgrading, restart slashd and Apache.

I guess those are the big things.  If you installed with symlinks, then
there's just two things to do: upgrade any Apache .conf changes as noted
above, and upgrade your templates.
