Sorry to follow so closely after 4.03, but I'm afraid I goofed in one
of the 4.03 changes. The only changes for 4.04 are as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  Fix 10 for 4.03 had a bug in it, which could cause problems when converting
    from an earlier 4.xx release with delayed "one_time" messages on the spool.
    4.03 incorrectly complains about spool format errors (and refuses to
    process these messages).


2.  Changed the status of the text widgets in the monitor from Append to Edit,
    because this matters on some versions of X.


3.  Change 22 for 4.03 turns out to be misguided. Luckily it is controlled by
    a compile-time macro. I have removed the settings from OS/os.h-Linux that
    made it try to use these functions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Change 1 was a double fault. I wrote bad code and then I wrote a test
that wasn't good enough to catch the bad case.

Changes 2 and 3 just happen to have been made at the same time (3 is the
getipnodebyaddr thing, discussed on the list).

If you are running 4.03 without problems, there is no rush to upgrade.
The bug will hit only if you use "one_time" and have affected messages
on the queue from earlier 4.xx releases.
