Hi, everyone,

I'm slightly embarrassed to announce the release of Remind 05.02.01.
This release fixes an extremely long-standing bug that only came
to light because of a combination of two things:

1) Luck: It seemed to manifest itself with more likelihood on big-endian
   machines than little-endian machines.  (Though honestly, I can't
   understand how it hadn't segfaulted at some point.), AND

2) New tests introduced in 05.02.00 that triggered the bug.

Thanks to Debian for finding this bug with its great multi-architecture
testing infrastructure, and to Jochen Sprickerhof for alerting me to the
test failures.

Remind 05.02.01 is available at https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/
