Re: planned bugfix release of base

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi,

I was going to write that everything was okay, but you already did a 
release!
I tried some BSD's platforms and Hurd.

I also tried compiling on gcc 2.95 by enabling the string class 
substitution manually and everything seems fine.


Thanks for the good work,
  Riccardo
