Humm, thanks Joshua, but I wonder what kind of mind games they're 
playing this time.  And with the testing just this group alone has 
given it, I'd say there was nothing "alpha" about it.  One way or 
the other we've beat the daylights out of it and its simply done 
what we've told it to do.  What more can one ask?

Duh, it was missing last week eh?  Does the md5 sum match now?  I'd 
damned sure check that after the openssl hoorah last week!
