Where did that address come from?  It's correct, but replying to your

there's no way you got it from the "From" in my earlier post.  ;-)

No, you got it right, as far as I can tell from John's and Lode's

I'm sure this is a bug; Tom is a total stickler for that kind of
thing, and would certainly bump the version if he decided to change
the archive (repository) format.
