Yes, perhaps. But I have no idea that there are any problems (though your report might be related). I haven't used change control much since I started using Windows ;-). I just haven't felt like installing it. > The copyright indicates > 2007 so I assumed the code was maintained and working :( Bad assumption. Even a recent change-log entry (though there are none in these files) wouldn't necessarily mean that the library was working on that log date. The change could just be something as simple as updating the address of the FSF in the free-software declaration. Checking for a recent change-log entry and reading what it says can help, but again, there are no guarantees. Sorry for any inconvenience.
