:) Meddling... You sound like one of those nameless
villains on Scooby Doo.  If only I had a cool nickname
like Dave "Shaggy" Kliekamp.  I guess you'd have to call
me Velma.

Yeah, sorry.  I thought that the zero was after any
concatenation like .c.  Learned something.  'preciate
that.  Would have appreciated a polite "you broke it"
email too.

Fortunately, that's the only .S instance.

My opinion is it's useful to update LZO.
