	Will do! I will make an alpha patch for 6.5.1 to keep the alpha
people happy in the short term. Then I will work on evaluating the full
effect of the alpha patches and then integrate them into the main source
tree bit by bit until it all works on alpha, but does not adversly affect
any other platform. V6.6 is about four months out, right?
	TTYL.
