Re: [MiNT] CAB OVL (?)

["Howard Chu" <hyc@highlandsun.com>]

I just announced 1.8603 a few minutes ago...

I've started to see this problem too. At the moment I believe this is a bug in
CAB, but I haven't paid attention to track it down. CAB is supposed to notice
when it's been redirected somewhere. If this is recent behavior that doesn't
happen with 1.84xx, then I guess it's a bug in the 1.86 OVLs.
