Sorry I'm using -current (up to date from yesterday), and

[root at moby ulinux]$ svn update
At revision 1372.

Hopefully it is, I can't see any immediate way for it to tell me it's

return the error.  I'd have to test on v4l on a native linux 
installation to be sure it's not a problem there anyway.
