Yup, the data structures are too different to make conversion easy.
You'll have to re-download all your headers to use CVS.

This is fixed in CVS now.

HA!  The CVS changes have been huge lately; that's why I put out a call 
for testers.  I haven't even gotten all the regression tests in sync 
with the latest changes. :P

Thanks for reporting it.  My hope is that pan-users will keep beating up 
on CVS for awhile, and when the bug reports slow down I'll release a 
wider beta (the first Pan release in 14 months!!).
