Yes, I do.  I originally bought CS in the U.S.
paperback edition.  On p. 332 it says "ancestor."  I
bought this in 2001.  

Then this spring (2002) I bought the U.S. hardover
edition from Amazon.com.  On p.332 it reads
"descendant."  

Neither book tells me which printing it is, only when
the first printing was run.  Thus the only clues I
have are that the paperback says its first printing
was in September 2000, while the hardcover says its
first Amercian edition was printed in June of 1999.

While that makes it sound as though the paperback is
the newest, without knowing which printing it is we
can't be sure.

Still, descendant seems to make much more sense tha
"ancestor."
