Ah, right, the version numbering of grok itself and grokproject do not 
necessarily sync up. However, currently it really is confusing as both 
version numbers are so close together...

Grokproject 1.0b1 will actually create a project for you based on Grok 
1.0b2. For both projects it is the intention to release finals Very Soon 
Now.

Hmm, I couldn't yet reproduce the error following these steps. We'll 
need to dig a bit deeper...
