I keep running into things that have been truncated. E.g., I don't think qt-2.3.1 will compress down to 8704 bytes, no matter how hard you squeeze it. It doesn't appear to be a bad copy from bento: the packages match my last package copy off bento. Is bento sick again? -- Alan Eldridge "Dave's not here, man."
