Jon,

Oddly I can't seem to find the source (no way to keep a repository
of related software at amanda.org ?).

I received a suggestion that blastwave.org might even have a
precompiled binary, but I can only find the current (?) version
of 1.15.91 there. Perhaps I'm overlooking as section of that site ?

Yes, if you could forwards the source I'll build it here and install
it as soon as the current amdump on that system completes.

                                                thank you,

                                                Brian
