Is that the tarball in the common-lisp.net CVS tree? If so, that is a 
daily autogen from the source tree, so it should not matter.

Were you playing with synapses? they just got sorted out a week or so 
ago. Otherwise I think anything you find might be new.

Understood about the 3AM factor, but I hope any Cells user errs on the 
side of reporting problems early. Even if it turns out to be an 
application problem, I might be able to help you debug it faster. Not 
having documented Cells, I owe y'all that much.
