Thanks for sending us a reminder of this bug report.  Back in September 1994
when you first sent it, I had not set up a very good system for keeping
track of the status of bug fixes, and I'm sorry to say this one fell through
the cracks.

Glenn will look at the problem and your proposed fix again later today and
resolve it.  We're very close to creating a 2.4 release, but it looks like
you got this repeat bug report in "under the wire".
