I have uploaded memoir.tar.gz to UK incoming. Please use this to
replace the current macros/latex/contrib/memoir. The distribution
is under the LPPL. 

From the README: Memoir is a flexible class for typesetting general fiction, non-fiction and mathematical works as books, reports, articles or manuscripts. Documents can use 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 or 17pt as the normal font size. Many methods are provided to let you create your particular design.

Changes (2004/10/31) o New version of memoir.dtx which will generate the new version v1.6 of memoir.cls incorporating all earlier patches o New version v2.0 of mempatch.sty (which does nothing) o New edition (ed 6) of the manual memman.(tex|pdf) incorporating all the material from the Addendum (which is no more).

This is a new release all round. Those who like to be on the safe
side, keep copies of the previous distribution while trying the
new one.

i've installed the new release in macros/latex/contrib/memoir -- thanks for the upload.
