  	This working version is believed to be stable, but
	we have not run our full regression-test suite.

Summary:

A number of small, but important bug fixes.

Details:

• Fixed a space leak in the CML implementation of TextIO and BinIO.
• Fixed the handling of %g in the Format library module.
• Ported to MacOS X 10.2 (Jaguar). The MacOS X 10.1 and 10.2 runtime systems are different. The former is called run.ppc-darwin5 and the latter is run.ppc-darwin.
• Fixed a bug in division by zero on the PowerPC.
• Sml now senses the SMLNJ_HOME environment variable. If this is set, then the bin dir is assumed to be in $SMLNJ_HOME/bin and (unless CM_PATHCONFIG is also set), the path configuration file is assumed to be in $SMLNJ_HOME/lib/pathconfig. This way one can easily move the entire tree to some other place and everything will ``just work''. Companion commands such as ml-build and ml-makedepend also sense this variable.
