riddles in the dark

    `What have I got in my pocket?' he said aloud.  He was talking to
     himself, but Gollum thought it was a riddle, and he was frightfully
     upset.

    `Not fair! not fair!' he hissed.  `It isn't fair, my precious, is it,
     to ask us what it's got in its nassty little pocketses?'

     Bilbo seeing what had happened and having nothing better to ask
     stuck to his question, `What have I got in my pocket?' he said
     louder.

    `S-s-s-s-s,' hissed Gollum.  `It must give us three guesseses,
     my precious, three guesseses.'

A special thanks to Jarkko for all his help in making this release
happen when it did, extra special thanks to anyone who ever sent
in anything that ended up in there, and extra extra special apologies
to anyone who sent in stuff for 5.6.1 that I had to bump off as
being 5.6.2 material.

Enjoy,
