Hi, everyone.  

Could you write back to me with the hostnames of any machines you've
used the installer on?  There's been a mistake in some versions of the
installer script that have gone out.  It's minor and will be easy to
correct -- it turns out that there needs to be a trailing newline at the
end of the file /etc/athena/version, and some versions of the install
script have failed to include this.  There may have been some corruption
of the file as a result on machines that have subsequently taken an
update.  

Once I've got all your hostnames, I'll prepare a script you can run to
correct the problem and any corruption to the file that has resulted.

Alex.
