This particular bug only affected the GUI version of the client, so if you're not using GUI mode you're probably OK. But I'd recommend getting new binaries anyway. The new ones were built with the PM3 release of Modula-3, which is actively maintained and has a lot of bug fixes not present in the SRC version which I had been using. I am still working on a port for PM3 -- trying to save you all the pain of downloading the whole 25 MB distfile. :-) As an added bonus with the new binaries, you'll get decent looking 3D scrollbars instead of those ugly Texas Chainsaw Massacre versions. :-) John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
