I think the answer to this is "no problem."  Just to be on the safe side, I 
would stash a copy of the log file somewhere and do a small print run to be 
sure that the print flags are being corrected properly.  Alternatively, 
just do the printing in 5.02, and use 5.03 to clear the print flags in the 
copy of the log that was NOT used by 5.02.

I, too, would appreciate some enlightenment on the expected timing of the 
next release, and whether this fix will be there.  If it's being held up to 
await the API for Logbook of the World, perhaps it's time to rethink that 
and do an interim maintenance release.
