Well.. for most people it only happens the first time... after which you
know that you can't do that... so you won't use it until you grab the next
snapshot! ;-)

You can submit a patch to that effect... but I'm sure the developers would
rather see a working implementation than a  choiceless popup!

But the CVS version is pretty much usable... and it doesn't crash all that
often either... I don't use the stuff that crashes it.. and it's not like
it crashes on some random incoming event or anything.

As long as you are using the UDP version to talk to the server it's going
to gobble up all your messages.

They are *AOL* they can do just about anything they please and get away
with it... but they still love to cry foul when a someone else does the
same thing! ;-)
