Thank you!  Indeed, the problem went away when I used the dated
version, not the 0.8.2 version.  I agree that 0.8.3 is a good idea.
FWIW, I try to put the latest version of everything onto the gEDA CD,
whether its a snapshot or a release.  I don't know if this causes any
support problems for you if J. Random User tries to use a snapshot
instead of a real release. . . .
