2.8.8dev.10 - I'm not sure.  It's awkward since it's a small change...

Right now the programs demanding the most time are dialog and xterm.  I 
have some changes that I'd like to make to lynx (display problems with the 
maximize feature added for win32), and have only gotten from outside just 
this one patch (there was a part of another patch...).

Usually what gets my attention is (a) big bug or (b) big patch.
