Sorry to be a pest. As Stefan pointed out, it just seemed like the .67 beta was bad. It wasn't like a typical beta release where version "a" is released and then a few weeks later version "b", and so on. It was more like version .67 was released and then a day or so later it was "oops, that one's no good, let's try .68", and then a couple of days later yet another fix (.70). Hopefully things are settling down now a bit with the .76 release.
