(Though I'm still finding things that broke when I moved WebShield
from a 1.2.13 kernel to 2.0.27; many of them appear to be badly
written applications, so I don't shed too many tears for them,
particularly since some of the revisions to the public interfaces
are additions that well-behaved code won't care about.)
