It's not like the bug reports are just flowing in: a crash here,
a crash there.  Mostly it was crashing while I used it, so I wasn't
actively soliciting crashes from others.  I used to get "unexpected
async message" from X every once in a while and then it would
hang.  Perhaps the latest version (from Andrey via the 9netics
crowd) has fixed these problems.  Andrey and I decided to stay
in sync via CVS instead of passing tar balls around and fix these
problems, but since we started on that I haven't seen it crash
once.  It does hang occasionally, but it comes back, so that's
probably the network.

I still don't have great confidence that it's okay.  As much as Uriel
wants to malign the old drawterm, I believe it was more solid than
this.
