I've checked the Monitor button while logged in, but I still
do not receive email notification of updates.  When I
clicked it again, it said I was no longer monitoring, so I
clicked it yet again back into monitoring mode.  Apparently
SF knows I'm monitoring it, but it still doesn't send me
email.  Mail to my @users.sf.net account does work, so I'm
at a loss to explain why

a) My login cookie doesn't stick around very long at all
and
b) Why I never get monitor email from SF

Re: the patch, I have something that works well on Solaris. 
I'll try it on Linux today, but I don't have access to an
HP-UX system.  I'm a little concerned about the impact to
HP-UX (pre 11.0 and post 11.0) and AIX, and I don't have
access to those machines to check out those concerns.
Hopefully I'll have the patch posted by today.
