Well, your question was recieved by Freefall at Mon Oct 9 16:18:41 1995
which means that most people on this list didn't even see it until earlier
this morning. It amuses me to think that you expect < 24h response from
a *free* service. As far as stability, the SNAPSHOTs are "BETA" quality
test releases, and anyone here knows that they are not the final *stable*
product that will be 2.1.
Anyway, I'll answer your question. Just as a refresher, this is what I
pulled out of the mail archives:

The problem has to do with the installation of secure telnet and is being
addressed right now. It should be fixed by for the next snapshot which
should be availible tomorrow sometime.
