Hey, don't be so harsh. Not everyone has access to purify, and some people
might appreciate the facility.  Though to be honest, making it available
on a Web page would be preferable to mailing it.

Secondly, how would you feel about putting a notice at the top of the
README, saying that 6.1 has been tested with Purify, and fails a number of
tests.  While it remains a substantial improvement on 6.0, and is well
tested in practice, people who are concerned about such things might like
to wait for 6.2.

If you're happy with that, there's surely little reason not to release 6.1.

If you're not, you ought to wait until at least the array bounds errors
are fixed.

Cheers,

Anthony
