I have one which I used to write the code and used as my sole console to the machine I was debugging for everyday like 3 months. Then I got a new one and I stopped using it. Some weeks ago Jeff complained about it and Richard and I concurrently found a bug in it. I tested it very lightly and it seemed to work. I think that because noone is using it daily changes are not tested in it. Are you using the version from sources? I'll get out my dongle and test it again (no pun intended). G.
