There have been other serious problems, but I could not catch up isolating 
them all.  A trac entry like "SMEF on Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64" certainly would 
not help.

I am also struggling again to find a combination of PG + Emacs that works 
on Mac OS.  GNU Emacs 23 somehow fails -- tickets will come when I've 
managed to pin down the problems.
