<sigh>

So, the packaged version of guilt on a brand new debian unstable
installation is actually older than the 2 year version of guilt I
had previously installed and used on a different machine. IOWs, the
debian distro version has this bug in it:

http://repo.or.cz/w/guilt.git?a=commit;h=8f88f953580a0cacf111bf64c0e838014ee30c01

Yeah, that was fixed more than 3 years ago. Oh well, back to using
a locally installed version...

Cheers,

Dave.
