More info needed.  Can you give an ls -l and comparison md5's for the files?

I need more information before I can continue, and it has been a week since I 
requested it; I know it's been a very long time since the bug was opened, but 
I would like to resolve it.  I need at least ls -l /etc/sgml in order to do 
anything.

Ok, I'll take the silence as a 'fixed.'
