Actually, I'm not loading Yarrow in the first place. That's why I think this
is weird.
(That and the fact that the last time I tried current, just after the
4.0-RELEASE was
split off, this was already happening.) It only happens on this box and
apparently
nobody else sees this exact problem (the last time I asked about it, back
then,
nobody answered it). I'm going to try it as a serial mouse and see what
happens.
