Ok, this one is easy to fix, you just have to remove the dash sign in
00list. Please don't commit the fix to the cvs yet, we are moving to svn. Do
you want me to upload the fix?

I think that since it's not sarge critical, it can wait tomorrow. But you
may not agree. In which case, I can upload a fixed version in the next 5 mn.

Christian, I'm just waiting for the green light. But don't touch the cvs no=
w.

Bye, Mt.
