We've got another TBB stable release. This one only updates the Tor binary to 0.2.2.38 without any other substantial changes. As such, we're just going to ask for a quick 24 hour test before we publish it at around this time tomorrow.
A simple "It works for me on platform X" is good enough for this one, I think.
You can get the binaries + signed SHA sums here: https://people.torproject.org/~erinn/qa/stable/
tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.2.38-1-dev-en-US.tar.gz working well on Debian 6.0.5. Tested .onion, regular web, and configured to use static control/SOCKS port for email client.
(And no permissions problem as you promised!)
