Hello John,

Yeah this is a bug that is fixed in CVS.  Long overdue for a release.
There are a couple of patches from other users that I haven't gotten
around to applying yet, and after that it should be ready.  This warning
can usually be ignored, unless the actual printing of the message causes
problems.  Nice to hear that you are running it on a PS3 ;)

Best regards,
        Josh
