This is not necessarily a valid assumption.  Ask someone to send you the
change logs between versions 18.51 and 18.53.  Look at these and decide if
upgrading would be worthwhile for you..  We're still running 18.52 here
bnecause 18.53 didn't seem to be a big improvement, and it introduced
some bugs.

Anyone know if there's going to be an 18.54?  The malloc/realloc bug and
the setpgrp() bugs were reported quickly after the release of 18.53.  Will
there be an 18.54 that incorporates these fixes or have they been
incorporated into the existing 18.53 distribution?
