Yeah, I was just looking through those postings. The dates are current so
it does seem that a lot of people are aware of this problem. I don't know
how to compile from source so I think I'll wait and see if a patch for the
general population shows up. It also doesn't appear that switching to my
previous version of Pan is going to help, although if no fix arrives I
still might try that.
