+	* Source/o_vscanf.c Reverted to earlier version - the last fix was
+	causing distributed objects to fail!  I don't know why, but DO seems
+	more important than the bugfix - so, pending a rewrite of DO
+	encoding/decoding to remove the dependency on the old stream code,
+	we need to leave this as it is.
