* sawfish will not reload fonts unnecessarily.
* sshd will not destroy krb5 creds when krb524 conversion fails.
* tcsh users who run bash won't get environment intialization.
* xscreensaver will run unlock commands correctly.
On Solaris:
* /usr/sfw/bin is now in the default path.
* emacs should no longer crash loading tiffs.
* file-roller should work on lha, rar, tar, and zip files.
On Linux:
* A full Java SDK is now provided, making "java" and "javac" work.
* The font for console logins should no longer be screwy.
* There is a security fix to the Cyrus SASL code.
* "df /afs" should show predictable values for available space.
* pax is added to the release.

If you have a machine set AUTOUPDATE=false, you can update it manually
after the release goes out by doing a console login as root and
running "update_ws".
