     This release incorporates fixes for recently reported bugs and other
minor issues.  This release also compiles and appears to function correctly
with the Intel C compiler for Linux--as long as optimization is disabled.
(If optimization is enabled, log messages disappear and many other weird
and wonder things happen.  If anyone has an idea why this happens, please
let me know--but privately or on the coding list, not here!)
