Thanks, Kevin.  Yes, I have http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.4.
I was running /trunk before but it wasn't stable enough to be a production
system (no surprise.)  I am presuming that the above is intended to be
stable in this fashion.

In many packages there is some file (usually the change log) which always
tells you what version of the program you have in your hands, in terms
of the program's current version number -- of course you can see the
svn revision numbers and dates but they don't trivially translate.
