Most of those bugs get fixed over time as we work on other bugs in nearby areas. So there's no point debugging an old version of the code, because there's a good chance that several of the bugs you're going to hit have been fixed already. I.e. first try it with the head the trunk of the CVS repository. Then report here with the problems you encounter. Stefan
