Heh, no problem.  We were both arguing against hanging back _that_ far.  I was
just saying that sometimes you can snag a bug no matter how long you wait
before installing a new rev.  It just depends on whether you're that "one

right combination--slow hardware plus mbox storage and full text searches on
very large mbox files.
