There have been a considerable number of changes since 2001/10/01.  I
didn't ask for volunteers to check this out until 10/3.  That is when I
ostensibly finished all of my infrastructure changes.

I wouldn't have expected that things would actually be broken on
2001/10/01 but it certainly makes sense to use a newer snapshot (or,
even better, CVS) if possible.
