I think there have been others, but I don't recall them now.  I know my 
downloads of pygame and libofx are the wrong files.  They both have 
dates of 13Jan2014 in /var/cache/sbopkg.  If you like, I can attach them 
to an e-mail to you.

I just now downloaded libofx by clicking on the link on its 
slackbuilds.org page.  I haven't tried compiling it again, but it's 
1.5MB in size now, rather than the 6+KB it was.

Thanks for the quick response!
