SourceForge said comments were closed when they really meant "you have  
to be logged in to make comments"?  That's *REALLY* stupid, but error  
reporting always seems to be one of the worst parts of software -  
people want to work on the parts of the code where things work, and  
handling cases where something doesn't work is Boring so people don't  
work hard at it.

You might want to report that as a problem:
