The reason is that I haven't had time to update the msgmax instances in the
dialogs (stoopid me). I just have to change all instances of things like

::msgcat::msgmax OK

to

::msgcat::msgmax O\_K

It's not hard to do but I haven't had time and I forgot to mention it this
morning. If someone else has the time to do it and provid the patches today,
that would be great. Otherwise, I'll do it on the train tonight and you'll get
it tomorrow morning.
