Cliff,
Very appropriate question, and Ryan's answer is good also, but, for you, to
use something from CVS head you have to know how to download (the source
code) from CVS (HEAD) and then compile it on your machine. I suspect that's
not one of your strong points.
As far as testing the fix, I think you'll have to wait until a package is
created that contains that fix.
Remind everybody what platform you're working on, one of the developer's (or
similar) will have time to create a package for you in the interest of seeing
the fix tested.

Randy Kramer
