~~~~~~~~~~~~~Confirmation:
Arachne says:
Memory allocation error -
Illegal xSwap operation at line 1651 of file HTML.C!
DOS :) says:
A fatal exception (6: Invalid Opcode) has occured at 0000:00000010
(or sometimes 37 are last numbers)
12. Invisible e-mail bodies in some cases (sample attached as #1).
13. "Overlayed text" (old and well known) is back (sample attached as #2).
*** DON'T PANIC - BOTH SAMPLES ARE IN RUSSIAN (CP-1251). ***
14. We can't edit input fields in new dial page/screen (since 1.65?).
15. Problems with caching in %TEMP%. I can reply on e-mails or edit
pages only when this option is OFF.
16. Trash in ARACHNE.CFG (not very often, every week) after line with
SmoothScroll I've got 4 lines with smiley faces and then "This is
ARACHNE.CFG for Arachne version 1.6+" = copy of the file first line...

I bet I've forget something important.
