Right. There are known bugs in cvs. That's why we haven't released 5.9.0
yet.

I cannot reproduce this. Could you try rebuilding from scratch? I'm not
sure what else to say.

Yes. Known bug.

Please give some details and submit to the bug tracking system.

Exactly what problem did you have? Since the share directory has been

i.e.,
load("physics/units");
instead of
load("units");
There are several files that need to be updated to reflect this.
