Well, I learn something new every day. All I know is that I now have
what I think is version 5.29 that runs the test suite without errors.
When/If they get the tags figured out I'll try again to download the
latest and see if it passes the test suite. For now, I'll work with what
I have. I'm not doing anything important right now anyway...
Respectfully,
Paul Bowyer
