W started having a lot of AfterStep crashes (always running Netscape 4.03b8) with that distribution about two weeks before 2.2.5-RELEASE. It would take out X and all; several times a day. Recompiled everything (world, AfterStep, XFree86 and contrib from ports) and it's been smooth sailing ever since. Just out of paranoia, I've been doing it along with STABLE updates every so often. Question is, have the binaries been recompiled by XFree86 Inc. since 2.2.5-RELEASE? Should this matter? It definitely -seemed- to for me. We like the latest TkMan too...
