Some errata in the version that appeared in the STOC 1998 proceedings are corrected in this online version. Of the known errata, the only one that matters much is the "rounding assumption" at the beginning of section 2. The "L =" should say "L <=". Also, in the previous paragraph, L = sqrt(d) * N / (delta * M) where M >= 1 was the length of the old MST.
