new snapshot

[John W. Eaton]

As I mentioned recently, I would like to make a new snapshot this
week.  Are there any patches or bug reports that should be addressed
before I do that?  I know about the one Ben posted earlier today.  I
would also like to try to fix the problem with the SKIP parameter when
writing to existing files (we should skip and not write NUL in that
case).  Is there anything else?

Thanks,
