Someone needs to look at the garbage collection of threads. I suspect
that there is a bug in the thread GC code. I can do that, but not
until next week.

There is no bug in the distribution itself. The bug is in the script
generating snapshots. Only Jim or Pat can fix this.

usleep returns an int on Sun Solaris machines. We should add
something to the configuration script to handle this. I'll try to fix
it soon.

This is again the snapshot script.

You can fix points 1 and 3 yourselves by installing automake-1.3 and
configuring with --enable-maintainer-mode. (You may have to remove
some files lingering from earlier snapshots.)
