Since my report yesterday, I've downloaded the Release-0-9-3-1 from
http://www.niksbiks.dk/Abi/.
I basicly get the same results as I did with the earlier build, *except*
that it crashes every time, not just the first time after a fresh
install.
Notes:
1. It is possible that I did something different yesterday on the second
trial in each case, like maybe I failed to hit <enter> after test? If
it would be an important clue, I can go back and check it.
2. The md5sums were fine for each package.
