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. :-)
