among other things, anselm lingnau asks
        ... is the = TRIP test being upgraded to trigger the errors
        that = surfaced `recently', ...?

i get a chance to look at dek's updates practically = before anyone
else, and in my experience, for any bug fix that he = feels can be
tested in trip, he adds some new code or changes some = old.  note
that there are some changes made that he *doesn't* = feel need trip
changes, or that are unsuitable for such a = test.  this includes
such areas as memory management -- how much space is = allocated to
a particular memory segment -- and other = system-dependent features
or features that are explicitly permitted to be = changed locally.

i believe it's probably wise, should a latex trip test = be created,
to re-establish a "baseline" whenever a new = version of tex is
released.  after all, some of the bug fixes may = have been made as
a result of problems uncovered in latex jobs.
