All good. Upgraded to 3.1.12 :)

One thing to note, make test reports a failure:

$ make test
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/tamara/Downloads/SOFTWARE/remind-03.01.12/src'
Remind:  Acceptance test FAILED

Examine the file test.out to see where it differs from the
reference file test.cmp.
make[1]: *** [test] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tamara/Downloads/SOFTWARE/remind-03.01.12/src'
make: *** [test] Error 2

$ diff tests/test.cmp tests/test.out

I'll take that as a false negative.
