 Kristian,

 No. You're not the only one to be having that problem, and you're
correct that it is only a problem with checked out via CVS versions of
Asterisk. I believe the consensus/solution was that with regard to the
release, you can avoid the problem by using the tarball and going
forward the dev branch is going to be using SVN which avoids the
problem all together.

 Thank you for AstLinux! It rocks! :)
