Thank you to James for inclusion in the follow-on patch
build.

SIDEBAR:  Even if you didn't get the "volume" of "takers"
to beta test, I've gotta think that this one must have
been pretty thoroughly wrung out by just Wirt...  I know
I would have no hesitation about installing it even if
the normal number of beta testers had not been reached..

but...  yes:  I knew the patches were out there, and like
I expect many other sites did not have an immediate need
to use internally on our 100Mbit network, so with all the
other things to do we are guilty of not requesting to
participate in the beta test program for these patches.
