   Heck yes. Let's just say that today I found a fixed another bug in
the GNO/ME 2.04 kernel (and the 2.0.6 beta series, but most of you
won't have access to that. I've got a copy precisely because I'm
finding bugs all the time :), and 'fixed' the problem I noted in
Pointless 2.0.3 on c.s.a2.p last week. Those are in GUPP 1.01.

   I would have released GUPP 1.01 by now, but I ran into another
somewhat serious bug that I'm going to hunt down after I finish eating
dinner. Basically, I've got programs that catch the questionable
behavior that programs can get away with 99% of the time and make it
pretty obvious that it's in the wrong. These are very much
hacker-oriented tools that I'll release on request to clued in folks
for now. A major release of those tools might be done in a few weeks,
stay tuned for details.
