Seconded.  We have a kludge in our install script to replace sh with
ksh, but it would be nice to be able to remove this.

Thanks!

Another *strong* motivator for 3.2.9 is Apache 2.2.x support.

Is anyone aware of any issues fixed in trunk that still need to be 
backported to 3.2.x? I'll check my notes tonight, but as I recall there 
is nothing outstanding so we should be good to go.

One tiny thing that should go in is a fix for the DbmSession file 
creation mode, but that is a 30 second job.

Otherwise, I'll roll a 3.2.9 release candidate tarball tonight.
