just two quick things:

- i have to take some of the blame for this -- Giles passed this text to
me to check it, and i failed to pick up the error, so sorry.
- more importantly, THANKS to the TPL for responding so quickly to this
concern, and posting the fix in a public way, and quite promptly, on
their website.  Honestly, I can't remember the last time any public
entity responded to a linux-specific issue when I raised it.  Usually
i'm just told to run windows...  so yeah, thanks.
