Subject: Announce: atalklogger update (bugfix)

[Once again, apologies for the crosspost...]
I've released atalklogger 1.2.1, which fixes a couple of bugs in version
1.2. The important one is that 1.2 would crash if papd was started after
atalklogger. Since papd starting after atalklogger is the recommended
configuration, this could be problematic.
Version 1.2.1 can be downloaded from
<http://prism.simplenet.com/atalklogger.tcl.gz>, or you can apply the
patch below.
