For me too (and I normally update from CVS _every single day_), but it's still a good question I think, because every once in a [long] while a nasty bug shows up which not everyone may notice, like the scrolling-sometimes- trashes-the-screen problem that's come and gone for a while (I _think_ that's fixed, currently, but since it's come back from the dead several times, I'm ever-so-slightly nervous). -Miles -- P.S.
