Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the availability of a new stable release of the
Nix Deployment System.  Release 0.9.2 can be found at

    http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/nix/nix-0.9.2/

This bug fix release fixes two problems on Mac OS X:

  * If Nix was linked against statically linked versions of the ATerm or
    Berkeley DB library, there would be dynamic link errors at runtime.

  * `nix-pull' and `nix-push' intermittently failed due to race conditions
    involving pipes and child processes with error messages such as
    `open2: open(GLOB(0x180b2e4), >&=9) failed: Bad file descriptor at /
    nix/ bin/ nix-pull line 77' (issue `NIX-14').

Also, yesterday's unannounced 0.9.1 release addresses a problem with the
ATerm library when the `--with-aterm' flag in `configure' was not used.
