This has been fixed in 0.2.5

Rulebase bugs. Fixed in 0.2.5.

I think that was an earlier version.

These relate to a bug in architecture handling that should be fixed in 0.2.6,
coming out shortly.

I'm only aiming for 2.5.x. At the rate it's improving, though, it might
be ready for 2.4.x.

If you want to make this happen, check out the CML2 translation of any
CML1 code you're responsible, fix any bugs in it, for and tell me
officially that it's OK.

I'll maintain a list. When enough maintainers have certified, I'll go
to Linus for a final decision.
