Thanks Scott.

Forgive my ignorance here. Does the library need to be initialized
(beyond base initialization)? If so, what is the function (I can only
find the deprecated/obsolete function).

I probably should have stated this earlier: I'm using 2.0.21-stable.

Another question (if you'll forgive the transgression): what is the
official email address for the list? I noticed two are in play
(freehaven.net and seul.org).
