This surprised me too. The version number was definitely bumped up to 
1.7.3 just a few days ago (around the 27th?), but version 1.7.2 was 
never tagged in the CVS repository. The change in version numbers also 
isn't acknowledged in the ChangeLog and so it's unclear what (if any) 
significance it has.
