it affects linux, but not the 0.12 binaries.

9vx is still experimental software.
if you are going to run it, i would
suggest installing mercurial.

there are still random things not
working right, both on linux and os x.
it is not as stable as i would like.

once it is more stable i will think
about making automatic archives,
but i'd really rather that for now,
regular users can update easily.

the 0.12 binaries don't have a pager,
so if you run them out of memory
they will probably crash.  if you run
with -t you can at least see the
error messages.
