[cacti-user] Cactid 0.8.6i Beta Available for Download and Test

All, 

A new release of Cactid - Beta is available for download and test. I am
including a binary version of Cactid for Windows made with Cygwin1.dll
version 1.5.20. If you use other versions of Cygwin1.dll, you should compile
from source.  Please use the following link to access both Windows binaries
and source code.  http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?p=72860#72860 

There are several changes in this version as documented below.

I really need a Solaris 2.8 tester due to the change that I have made to
support the "buggy" Solaris threading model.
