Errata files for the PHB (both print versions)

Quick question regarding these files...
I've come across two so far -- presumably one for each print version of the PHB.
The first one includes certain clarifications including one for equipment which runs about 7 pages and a lot more typos.
The second one is considerably smaller and addresses only typos.
These were not found off the TLG site... although I found a third one there that seems to mirror some of the information found in what appeared to be collected errata for the 1st printing.
The main reason why I've started looking into this was dealing with two-handed weapons... I had assumed (incorrectly) that this was updated in the 2nd printing of the book. It looks like most other things were corrected but not this (or at least not entirely -- I didn't do a weapon by weapon check).
Will there be a general update to this errata file... it seems the one off of TLG needs some updating to reflect the second printing.

Both were done by Traveler and are considered "unofficially" official, as they are more current than the Trolls.
What, exactly, is your question/concern about 2 handed weapons? Maybe we can help or get an "official" response from one of the Trolls.

Well, the ones done by Traveller are fine... and between the first one he did and the one listed on the TLG site, I was able to get my answer.
Essentially, some of the two-handed weapons in the second printing still don't indicate that they are two handed...
The bec de corbin, guisarme, and halberd are three examples off the top of my head. I did get the clarification I needed but I generally didn't the errata for the first printing necessary as I had the second. It would seem that the unofficial official errata for the second printing needs to carry over a few items from the first.
It wasn't meant as a complaint or anything... it was more of an observation (and a stuborn player who is determined to use a bec de corbin one-handed)
Thanks!

Complaining? How dare you?
Seriously though, it's through the players that things like this get found, because while I noticed a few things, a lot of things were found by other players. So now I can update the errata to reflect this issue.
As to that stubborn player that wants to use a bec-de-corbin one handed, let him. But he has additional modifiers to his to hit if he wants to use it one-handed. Modifiers severe enough that he won't hit at all.

Honestly, I've been using the weapons pretty much as listed. Bec de corbin, 1H... you bet! That is until the 3rd printing of the PHB is released.

Thanks Traveller! As for my stubborn player... I'll be sending him a copy of the two-handed weapons list (complete list) and allow him to decide... I figure that a penalty equal to the EV value (in this case a penalty of 5) may be a good way to start dissuading him.
I could possibly even argue that, while using a bec-de-corbin one handed only, he might only be able to attack once every two rounds...
