Jean-Louis: Is it safe to try last nights snapshot?

I have it and have built it, but didn't install it yet.  I had sent in a 
bunch of logs to the hackers-list that I could duplicate while running 
anything newer than 2.5.0-20060424 at about the time you went on vacation, 
and which in some respects resembled the problems being reported here 
recently.  I went back to 2.5.0-20060424 in the meantime.  I was in 
upstate MI from 1 May to 15 July, working out of an HP lappy, so I wasn't 
able to play my usual canary in the coal mine early alert till I got back 
& ran smack dab into all kinds of troubles with anything labeled 
2.5.1anything, usually on the second run after an install.
