+        Log: updated to Text::Wrap 98.112801 from CPAN; one published change
+             has happened without the authors knowledge or consent; the subversive
+             version (which is in 5.00502) breaks one of the tests in the
+             authors testsuite; attempts are being made to find a fix that
+             avoids breaking code already running with the 5.005_02 version

+        Log: various fixes for race conditions under threads: mutex locks based

+             before Thread->new() got around to creating the Thread object;
+             cv_clone() needed locking, as it mucks with PL_comppad and other

+        Log: MSG_PROXY for GNU/Hurd (previously we believed that

+             In fact this ended up as a major MSG_* and SCM_*
+             update.  The MSG_XXX known to be enums in some
+             versions of the glibc are now probed for and respective
+             HAS_MSG_XXX are defined.  While I was at it I noticed
+             SCM_RIGHTS being similarly an enum.  This reminded me of
+             an ancient discussion in perl5-porters:
+             http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/9612/msg01017.html
+             The BSD socket interface has a nifty feature for passing
+             file descriptors and credentials--via sockets.  It may be
+             too late to add this functionality to the CORE but
+             at least Configure now probes for the functions,
+             structs, and includes, defining the appropriate
+             HAS_YYY and I_ZZZ, and the Socket extension exports
+             the constants, in case somebody wants to write an
+             extension for this interface.
