I think this has been corrected already earlier today. Just rsync again.
It's funny to look at this in bitkeeper: it has been changed back and
forth several times.

Also fixed as of 8:30 GMT today.

I had sometimes problems loading modules with this version, even with
modutils-2.3.14. I am not quite sure what was the cause, it just didn't
work ("module de4x5 not found"). Sometimes it just worked (I am running
it right now).

Otherwise standard bugs persist:
- No mounting of HFS CDs
- No mounting of loop devices
- No strace

Another bug of Paul's devel tree in comparison with the bitkeeper tree:
There is something wrong with the passing of environment variables. I
have been seeing this at least since 2.4.0-test1-ac18, but I still
haven't quite understood what is going on.
