Thanks for the followup.  As this is an open source project done entirely
on volunteer time, I hesitate to commit to any firm release date.  On the
other hand, we've made a number of substantial improvements since 2.63,
and I really want a beta release of 2.63b (or name it 2.64) in the near
future so we can start checking for regressions.  However, there are still
a few sticking points that it would be nice to resolve before a release,
such as making the parallel autotest suites less likely to fork-bomb on
BSD systems.  In the meantime, you can use the latest unreleased software,
or backport just the patch you needed and apply it on top of your build of
2.63.
