Nor me -- but I _have_ actually seen the crash myself, just not at the 
right time to be prepared to debug it.  Maybe with persistence.

Well then, that supports my point.  Despite the build system problems, 
1.2.3 is nonetheless already in Cooker, so fixing the build system bugs 
makes no difference to this distribution.  The point of interest is 
whether the non-build-related bugs are important enough.

That's really down to Heikki, I think, to disentangle the actual fixes 
from updates that may affect compatibility.  I wouldn't wish to attempt 
that myself.

Anyway, I took a look at some of the other patches that have appeared on 
trunk and you're right, there are quite a few more fixes we can use.  
I've brought across all the ones I noticed that I felt qualified to 
deal with:

 * a further marker-editor fix

 * Yves Guillemot's percussion matrix fixes (with Guillaume's tidyup).
   This one's a reasonable amount of code, but (see email of 5th Mar) it
   does appear to be entirely work that I would consider bug fixes
   rather than features.

 * Guillaume's composition view fixes to ensure that the segment that
   appears to be on top of a stack is the one that is used for mouse
   operations

 * Martin's rotary update fix for IPB

 * Two small composition view fixes from me (fix hang for zero duration
   segment, fix audio previews for repeating audio segments)

and I've brought across the new .rgd files.  Let's consolidate any 
further fixes, do a bit of testing, and release next week.

I see it's the fourth of July today -- happy America, Americans! -- and 
that puts me in mind to suggest the 14th (Bastille day) as a nice 
release date for 1.2.4.  How about it?
