Disaster struck yesterday and took something down on my development box. Not
quite sure what -- upon I get 'crc error -- system halted' immediately after
the uncompressing kernel step. That took up some time last night. Anyway, I
am now booting from another partition, and the chroot(8) in which I build
the packages wasn't affected at all.

Consequently 0.3.4-2 packages are being uploaded now. As I 'accidentally
wasted' the 0.3.4 label on the previous golden master, I decided to for once
forgo the rule of shipping pristine .orig.tar.gz files and stick with the
previous one. The compressed diff is small.  And I'll try to avoid that
naming trap next time. I think I'll do Python and Ruby tomorrow.

Thanks to everybody for the hard work on this.

Dirk
