Yes, of course. :)
The TLEs I am using were obtained on April 13th.  See the file here:
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdeedu/kstars/kstars/data/satellites.dat?revision=653680&view=markup

The epoch in the TLEs is "07094...", which is the 94th day of year 2007, or 
April 4th.

Anyway, my original question was: have you done any verification of the SatLIb 
predictions against other published satellite predictions?  If so, can you 
tell me about the results and which sources you used for the comparison?

thanks,
Jason
