The following message was intended for the list, but accidentally
addressed to Scott only. I made some progress on the MEO issue
in the meantime.

You're right. I did make some repairs, but apparently it's still
not fixed (Don't ask me why I didn't do your test myself before
claiming it was fixed :-).

I fixed a show stopping bug in Socket.pm and the long standing bug with
Apple Menu Options, so I'll probably release 5.1.2 in January. One other
bug, which probably is connected to Macintosh Easy Open, is still not
tracked down. I promise a big Toblerone chocolate to whoever gives me the
key insight that allows me to reproduce this bug.
