Tell me more about 3.2.1.  There are two bugs that we've encountered in
3.2 that we're trying to deal with now:

	1.  The dial & button box does not work properly under 3.2, rendering
	our application next to useless for production (it doesn't impact us
	too much for developmenmt).  The hotline says this problem is fixed for
	3.3, but they haven't gotten back to us yet on what to do to fix the
	problem for 3.2.  Is the fix in 3.2.1?

	2. The same source code compiles and runs fine on 3.1, but repeatedly 
	dumps core on 3.2 (when we do a certain sequence of events).  This 
	problem was just discovered yesterday, and I'm in the process of isolating 
	the exact cause.  Some memory is getting overwritten, but we're not
	sure where.  When I left work last night, malloc was the current
	*suspect*.  Any clues?  I know this is vague, but these kind of
	problems are a real bear to track down, and any pointers would be
	appreciated.
