	I'm going to upgrade to this today.  I came in this morning and found
two computers with hung coda clients.  This is the first time in a while
this has happened.  Both of the clients had these log messages (sorry I
can't give a backtrace -- these machines were don't have gdb):

[ D(31) : 0000 : 09:00:00 ] userent::Connect: VGAPlusSHA_Supported -> 1

[ W(30) : 0000 : 09:00:00 ] userent::Connect: Authenticated bind
failure, uid = 0
[ W(30) : 0000 : 09:00:00 ] WAITING(SRVRQ):

[ W(20) : 0000 : 09:00:00 ] userent::Connect: Authenticated bind
failure, uid = 0

09:00:00 Coda token for user 0 has been discarded
Assertion failed: p->ai_family == PF_INET, file
"/home/pwalsh/working/coda/BUILD/coda-6.0.10/coda-src/venus/realm.cc",
line 182


	Hopefully the update will fix this problem...
