Where are my Gravatars?

I obe­di­ent­ly updat­ed to Word­Press 2.5.1, and lost my Gra­vatars. I’ve checked the set­tings, and they’re still enabled. They’re def­i­nite­ly still in my tem­plates, but nobody gets any­thing but the default “no gra­vatar” pic­ture. Buh?

They work again! I had to change the code from

<?php
echo get_avatar( get_comment_author_email() );
?>

to

<?php
echo get_avatar($comment);
?>
