Actually the latest patches there apply to popper 2.52 which is only
one rev old, and mostly works cleanly with 2.53 (the current rev), at
least as far as I can remember (I may have manually applied one patch?).
I haven't made diffs for 2.53 yet :(

The latest version there has an additional patch for FBSD that uses 
lower level newdb library functions.  I was having hair pulling problems
with gdbm (I must have been doing something wrong, but I sure can't
figure out what).  

    I found what appears to be a bug in some versions of the ndbm 
    compatibility part of the gdbm.  Basically I reduced the code down
    to a pretty simple open, insert, fetch.  The fetch would consistently
    core dump.  As such I've written an alternate version of the 
    pop_virtualh.c file that uses the "NEWDB" (#include <db.h>) version
    of the dbm library.  

If anyone with a clue wants to tell me what I did wrong, be my guest :)

Also - Carol I don't see what you fixed in pop_init.c, I just did a line
by line (the formatting changes hoses diff) and I don't see it, if you
would be so kind as to point out exactly whats different from the current
version....  Zip me a private mail on this one, thanks.

 up their fiscal year budget for hardware/software expenditures.
