sometimes. I simply recompile and life continues. When I upgrade a port I
always expect (as a matter of principle) that something might go wrong and I
go looking for it. However, the breakage with RT is one that has left me so
worried - that character set issue, since it manifests itself on the main
system, and only with 5.5.8 and not 5.5.7!
