Hello,

I hate objects in OCaml because sometimes I fell into bugs like
http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=3576 while refactoring the
code. 

In short, object's code generation in OCaml 3.08.3 is buggy and it is
fixed in OCaml 3.08.4. And of course, OCaml in Debian sarge is stuck to
3.08.3 because they define "critical" as "relevant to the debian
developer" and not "relevant to the user". I fact, I think I hate more
Debian developers than OCaml developers! :-)

Ok, rant aside, this is very annoying. Might be a good incentive to
switch to Etch, if only that ADSL USB modem would not be so hard to
configure!

d.
