    Thanks.

    Some of the bugs I listed are so easy to hit that I suspect those
packages aren't used much.  Those bugs should have been found years
ago.  Fixed, even.  I shouldn't be discovering them in 2015.

    I appreciate all the effort put in by developers in fixing these
problems.  Python 3 is still a long way from being ready for prime
time, though.
