Interesting.  Actually, I'm not convinced that the 2nd printing was
anything other than a 2nd printing (because the 1st one sold out, or
whatever).  Does anybody know for sure if there are any differences
between the two?  If there are, that would certainly be handy information
for me to have, since we do release technotes with corrections to the
reference manuals.

FYI, my copies here at work say First Printing.
