and not only that -- vic just makes things evident because the
corruption causes a huge image update to be sent thus waiting a bit
before sending the next frame.

and to be more precise, this is happening on at least 4 different PCs,
of different vintages and speeds -- only thing in common is the use of
3.1R vs 2.2.anything.
As a matter of fact i am right now reinstalling a 2.2.x on a machine
just because i need to do an MBone broadcast and the video corruptions
are not tolerable!
