I may not be able to participate in projects on savannah.gnu.org.  For 
some unknown reason it stopped responding to my e-mail address the last 
time I tried to report VMS related updates after I registered.

The config.guess file is currently inconsistent for VMS, as it is 
claiming it to have 3 different vendors depending on the hardware 
platform used.

Now Savannah.gnu.org is claiming that I am no longer registered.  I am 
re-registering to see if I have any better luck.
