It is not the FSF date that matters, but how it was built.
Did you use the configure,make, make install gnu process, or the type of 
command recommended in the README.APPLE file?:
gnumake install RC_OS=macos RC_ARCHS=ppc TARGETS=ppc \
                SRCROOT=`pwd` OBJROOT=`pwd`/build/obj \
                DSTROOT=`pwd`/build/dst SYMROOT=`pwd`/build/sym \
                BOOTSTRAP=

Which I take to be yes, since the flag would be meaningless except when 
compiling Objective-C code.

My point entirely.  If you have anything which you think needs fixing, 
please let us know as soon as you have time.  It saves others having to 
waste time solving the same problems again.

I have a conference for the next two days, but I will try to post my 
changes to the CVS on Thursday.  It would be good to know how you go with 
that code.  You will need to run autogen.sh on the cvs code before the 
configure etc.

To get the CVS code do:
cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/swarm login 
and then a return at the password prompt.
Then a 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/swarm co swarm
will download the current swarm code into a directory 'swarm' in your 
current working directory.

You only need to do that once.  To update subsequently: cd to the swarm 
directory and type:
cvs -z3 update
