Um, thanks for reminding me! I'll try to schedule time to look at them later in this week, but if you get a chance ahead of me, let me know if you make any progress. One of the other things on my todo list is I noticed that apparently I accidently broke the shared library ABI for the e2tools package, and I need to figure out what I need to fix up so that e2tools doesn't have to be recompiled. - Ted
