Ok, I'm a little confused.  I had thought that we had agreed that #7 was
development, and that you had implemented a "fix" to just ignore >MAXLINKS
in the 10/16 patch; HOWEVER, in the stuff you sent me that was just
posted, you said it covered 6-10 although I didn't see anything in the
CHANGES file about it except your addition on 10/16 about that "fix" that
was not listed in the CHANGES before.

So, let's see if this is correct: The 2-6update.zip file covers patches
1-6 and 8-10, right?  #7 is considered development, and #11 is not
recommended (by you anyway <grin>), right?  Just wanna be clear so that we
know what we're getting. :)
