Yep, even on 6.2-RELEASE.  I did a setup with a couple of machines
yesterday (6.2-RC2 and 6.2-RELEASE) that demonstrated the problem.

On my 6-STABLE system (which appears to be working fine), I still have
the change from 1.48.2.16, I only backed out .15 and .14.  I didn't try
my diff on the 6.2-RC2 and 6.2-RELEASE machines yet.

Hmmm...I was looking for that bug report before, but I couldn't find it.
 It's not clear to me how 1.48.2.16 is involved...hmmm...

Thanks,

Bruce.
