Dan's patch hasn't been committed yet, but AFAICT, it is safe.  I don't 
use those scripts anymore.  As far as releasing a new LFS, I don't know. 
  If it were only bootscripts, I'd do an errata entry, and add a 
reminder to the blfs-bootscripts page.

However, it seems to me that if LFS hasn't released say every (insert a 
responsible value here - 6?) months, if there is errata, a new tiny 
release should be made.  It's not like it takes all that much to modify 
a released book from it's own svn branch--I mean all the hard work is 
done already.  Proofreading, testing, instruction verification, test 
suite results, SBU timings, etc. should still be good.
