It hasn't worked for a really, really long time (I think even some of the
2.0 relases were bad). I made a patch around here somewhere to move it to
use the new MCA routines, but I can't seem to find it at the moment.

(I'm still trying to believe that such a small number of people actually
use the MCA code that it doesn't get maintained...)
