Gee, that was quick, again :-) 0.9.8j already in CVS.

The patch is tested, and it works for me.

I think I will let the script stay like it is for a while for backwards
compability. The 0 exit code was not a big issue for the script, but it took a
while to figure out what caused the problem ;).
I will probably rewrite the script to use the error code again, but at the
same time it will have to check that the user has at least version 0.9.8j

Thanks,
