Sorry, my mailbox gets flooded with enough trivia and spam. Another
50-odd messages a week about yet another bugfix with an obscure usage
of the g77 fortrash compiler won't turn my crank, if you know what I
mean. Unless you can get a filtered version regarding just the basic
tools?

Stable?

Yup. It's gotta be pretty subtle if I only managed to run into it
about eight times in the last four days(!).

No, that was my first category.

No, I was in too much of a hurry to get my stuff working so I fixed my
missing return statements. :P
