In my first reply, I said "yes we do".
I learned a few minutes later that "ipfilter" was broken on Alpha (which has
64bit longs and pointers) in 1.3.2.
It's fixed in both -current and the 1.3.x branch, so you have two options:
a) if you like experimental code, you can use the recent -current snapshot
but:
<ross> The snapshots are good, as long as you don't have a TGA and
<ross> want an X server.
b) you can wait for 1.3.3.
