Because there have been a number of non-trivial bugfixes since 24.0.96,
I will make a 24.0.97 pretest this coming Wednesday, the 16th.  Please
plan your commits accordingly.

The only other major issue I am concerned about for the release is the
mysterious GC problem on Mac OS (Bug#11395), so if some Mac user could
help track that down by providing concrete debbugging details or
bisecting, that would be great.

If nothing major crops up, I hope to make the release candidate at the
end of the month.
