If you got access to another oldworld machine please test and report it. > BTW, many thanks to go Peter 'p2' De Schrijver for his tremendous help in > making it even possible to close that bug, as it was a pretty hefty bug. yup! :-) and, better not to forget, the new quik.deb is available at http://www.ulyssis.org/~p2/debjes/ regards, Holger -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBpv5YUHLQNqxYNSARAnr2AJ9uUEnJw33vOqE3OvxrQZx/4tI+9gCfRaxl qXY98lBKp9DVE+aI+J7XoAI= =8kK4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
