Understood, and agreed.  
Going back down memory lane, the reason that I eventually threw my hands up and 
tried the STABLE and RELEASE tags, was because cvs update was not working on 
it's own.  The existing src was not being updated, thus configure indicating the 
older version.  


"You get what you asked for in this case."
This does beg a question, and I realize that I am asking this without 
researching... So is 1.9.8 the current Stable release?  I assumed that it was 
1.9.9  .  


I do still have the original src directory, so if I can find some time, that 
would be an interesting experiment.
