Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to say that there appears to be something wrong with
libreadline in 4.1-RELEASE.

Since the former letter I have, on the same hardware,

. installed 4.0-RELEASE and CPAN-1.58:	Perl ReadLine support Ok
. installed 4.1-RELEASE and CPAN-1.58:  Perl ReadLine support *not* Ok

So, it's back to 4.0-RELEASE for me until this is fixed.

I think 4.1-RELEASE has these problems

1 ATAPI slave CD on primary IDE controller detected
2 ReadLine in Perl won't work
3 tcpdump doesn't work properly (see subsequent letter, PR) but this is
also broken in 4.0-RELEASE.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
