  I'll knock up a 7.0-snap (just done with the 6.0-RELEASE) that will 
have the fix in it. If you really need a 6.x based system, then it might 
be a few days before I can MFC the fix back into that branch.

  It is possible, but by the time I'm finished writing the instructions, 
the 7.0-snap would be built :)

later,

Peter.
