1. That it leaves too large a footprint in memory.
2. That it has some built-in disk-compression utility (which, BTW, the user
may elect not to use) that wreaks all kinds of havoc. The fact that such
poorly written software was ever released scares me away from it. I don't
even care that some patches might have been developed later to deal with the
problem. The problem was just so terribly serious that the software should
never have been released in the first place.

I said that it has been so long since I played around with it that I forgot
what works and what doesn't. Memory leak (vbg).
