+1 -- it is important that we retain stability.  When the build is
broken please stop putting in new code and go see why.

FYI: the classlib build on IBM VM status is:

 - win32 is ok, but the build machine needs maintenance so is offline
for a short time.  Local build/test on another WinXP machine is working
for me.

 - linux32 is failing on the build machine because it cannot load the
Xtst libraries.  Plan to install them shortly and then that build will
pass.  Local build/test on a different machine with libs is working for me.


Regards,
Tim
