Standard Error Output - Oops

My job took me away from this project the past week.  In making the next set of changes, I discovered that the last commit did not compile.  During the development of the standard error output changes, the coutClose() function (which closes the current channel if open) was originally named cclose().  At the last moment, this was renamed to the more appropriate coutClose(), but in the haste to get the code committed, the code was not compiled and retested.

It has been recent policy recently make sure every commit pushed to the repository compile and test successfully, at least on the development platform (Linux).  Any problems with testing would be noted in the commit message.  The last commit failed this policy and I apologize (and worst, it went for a week in this state).

When a development tag is added, it is validated to compile and test successfully on both the Linux and Windows platform (specifically XP, though it should work on 7 also).  Again any problems are noted in the commit message.  For an actual release however, it will also be tested on the Windows 7 platform (and there should be no test issues).
