Well, I do not know what you did, but textars is 2.0.8+bci :) Maybe the bugs in 2.0.6 were just a lot more visible with your monitor/fonts. So in conclusion I hope we can have the bugfixes+bytecode interpreter enabled in 2.0.8, if the maintainer agrees? To Fabrice: thanks for replying, ofcourse I just ran rpmmon myself (duhh...should have done that before).

Another moment passed. Slowly, the others turned to face him. `Probably the wrong moment to ask,' said Arthur, `It's just I remember you use the word a short while ago and I only bring it up because...' `Where,' said Ford quietly, `does it say teleport?' `Well, just over here in fact,' said Arthur, pointing at a dark control box in the rear of the cabin, `Just under the word "emergency", above the word "system" and beside the sign saying "out of order".'" - - Arthur finding an escape route from a certain death situation. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD4DBQE8howtaeiN+EU2vEIRAqn7AKCU/DxQqa3xwD/Zs3+DC7MaRbKukgCXRdb2 wxMGLELjB8nBbfhff9m7Iw== =HZNX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
