Can someone confirm that acknowledgements are working for them in 4.0.2? 
  It'd make me feel better if I knew it was something definitely on my 
end, or a problem that other shares.  Misery loves company.  :)

I still don't have this fixed and I'm in need of some guidance or a push 
in a new direction.  My brain is slowing down.

In my apache logs, I see all sorts of message like these 3:

xgetenv: Cannot find value for variable BBGENOPTS

Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at 
/home/bb/cgi-secure/maint.pl line 217., referer: 
http://secret.nandomedia.com/hobbit-seccgi/maint.pl

maint.pl: Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at 
/home/bb/cgi-secure/maint.pl line 217., referer: 
http://secret.nandomedia.com/hobbit-seccgi/bb-ack.sh

In hobbitserver.cfg, BBGENOPTS is defined as
hobbitserver.cfg:BBGENOPTS="--recentgifs --subpagecolumns=2"

Any ideas?  I tried turing on debugging in maint.pl and checking out 
line 217 (or 222, which comes up sometimes in error_log), but I don't 
know enough about perl to really do anything useful with what I've found 
on the maint.pl webpage in debugging mode.
