The only errors I see are 2.18 constructions when run with 2.19.49. OTOH I always see these warnings: warning: cannot find property type-check for `extra-X-extent' (backend-type?). perhaps a typing error? warning: skipping assignment Seven in all. > I specified my new system that I built principally for lilypond, but also > photographic work.

Oh well, I'll just add my benchmarks: real 3m13.656s user 3m8.708s sys 0m1.832s 2008-vintage Intel Core2 Duo processor, 1.20GHz, 2GB memory. real 3m28.626s user 3m26.885s sys 0m1.532s 2006-vintage Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz, 2GB memory. Ages surmised from the BIOS dates. Time to cadge another computer methinks!
