Johannes,

   Earlier this week I checked and saw that my 170622 version was shown as
the current one. Now I see there's a 171108. I'll upgrade all packages
tomorrow morning.

   No. I had version 3.01 installed in texmf/. That directory has been
removed. I downloaded 3.44; the differences between it and 3.43 are probably
minor.

   I assume that REXMFHOME is a directory in ~/ that's exported from
~/.bash_profile.

Thanks,

Rich
