Then you'll definitely want to install 1.0b11.  It should all work
fine in that release (I'm testing it now on some internal lists, and
it looks pretty good).

I think I was probably not very clear in my message (I was rushed to
leave).  The problem /only/ affects you if you are running something
earlier than 1.0b11 (to be released in a few minutes) and are already
archiving a gated list.  Any new lists you start gating after
installing 1.0b11 will work just fine.

Thanks very much!
