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. Russ
