probably - but unless it's a simple fix, it'll go into 2.8.2 - I'm
working down the list of things that _prevent_ 2.8.1 from going out, and
it's slow.

just for status: I've built dev26 on Linux, FreeBSD and OS2/ EMX, am going
to check on the Solaris build.  No new bugs that I've found, though one of
my dev26 changes has proven troublesome to port (a sed script to transform
the config definitions into C code).  Other (older) bugs that I'll do in
dev27 (I hope):

        + EMX version doesn't translate local pathnames correctly into WWW
          form (so the internal pages don't work yet).

        + between dev22/dev23, the -dump option (probably my changes) lost
          blank lines.
