You mean I've been needlessly worrying and nagging everyone about this for the
past 6 weeks?  Couldn't someone have told me, or marked the ticket
closed, or done _something_ to indicate that we weren't going to have
the problem with 1.36?  What a huge waste of everyone's bandwidth!

Thanks; it doesn't bother me much now that I think the instructions are
probably okay.  That said, I'd still feel best if they got thoroughly
tested.
