Let me explain this again (in chronological order):

Way back, Chuck merged Hyperbole 4.01 into the XEmacs 19.14 betas, I
believe.  This was Bob's "going-away" present, and he dropped off the
net and the list for a while.

Mats discovered that kotl-mode in 4.01 was unusable under XEmacs and
submitted the patch.  Nobody listened, if I remember correctly.

I resubmitted the patch.  Since Bob wasn't on the net at the time,
Chuck put in the fix.  That's why it's in 19.14.

The fix apparently never made it back to Bob, which is why it isn't in
the post-4.01 Hyperbole releases.

Consequently, when Steve upgraded Hyperbole, the fix was lost, and
kotl-mode was broken again.

If the fix isn't in 4.022 (or whatever the new version is), either
somebody needs to find out why it's really broken and provide a
better-founded patch, otherwise it should be in---without it,
kotl-mode is *broken* and *unusable*.
