Just a follow-up, Simple2ZOOM 1.0.4 was released in June 2009 and it
fixed the off-by-one error (although credit went to Simon jacob at the
National Library of Australia
(http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/MIRK/Net-Z3950-Simple2ZOOM-1.04/Changes)
- at least the credit stayed in the Commonwealth!)

So, new installs of the Evergreen Z39.50 server shouldn't have to
apply any special patches. Thanks again, Warren.
