In that case, someone has been spectacularly careless! Approx 36 hours prior to
the posting of your message (that which I am following up - can't be bothered
doing exact timezone conversions :-)) I was re-aquiring the src01 dist from
kirk.bu.oz.au (official site downunder, says so in DISTRIBUTION.SITES!) and
decided to grab the patchkit whilst I was there as I couldn't remember where
I had put it. In doing so, I found 0.2 in the directory structure with YOUR
name on it (and 0.1 is now absent) and thought "Oh goody - I get to have an
up to date source tree!"
Even though I have an unnoficial pathkit, my system is FINALLY stable and
usable. (It even recognises my second 200M drive. Joy!) Darn.
