That's good to hear.  From Mike's post a little while after yours, I get
the impression that Luoqi's hot on the trail of whatever bug crept in, so
hopefully all will be well in a short while.

In the meantime, I think it would probably best for people to avoid
cvsuping to -stable until the all clear has been given.  (Or cvsupping and
applying the pae-backout patch.)

I just updated UPDATING with a note to this effect, hopefully we'll be
able to remove it very soon.
