 Actually, IIRC, the distro on sourceforge seems to be truncated
 (or otherwise borked) rather than updated or trojaned. I seem to
 recall it gave me an "Unexpected EOF" from tar when I manually
 extracted it.
 
 As a workaround, I manually fetched the archive from elsewhere -
 but updating to the latest version also works for me, thanks for
 that...  :)
