I'm strongly hoping that we can get db 3.2.9 in instead of 3.2.3h.
I've been using 3.2.9 successfully for a few weeks now, and have
built (from stage1) several systems using it.

It fixes numerous bugs in 3.2.3h, including a sigseg when opening
databases in 1.85 compatability mode.

Additionally, python 2.2.1-r1 should be unmasked for testing -- it,
too, has only very minor updates but a single important one (only
relating to build depends, not functional differences).  Here's the
changelog entry for python 2.2.1-r1:

*python-2.2.1-r1 (29 May 2002)

  29 May 2002; Jon Nelson <jnelson@gentoo.org>: python-2.2.1-r1.ebuild
  Add expat to build depends (except during bootstrap), use econf
  and emake, and don't mess with Modules/Setup.local because modules
  are build as shared on Linux as default.
