For all the things Mandrake got right, I can't believe they'd freeze a 
segfaulting everybuddy instead of allowing in a newer version that actually 
works.  I realize it's not a critical piece of software, so I'll try to make 
this comparison relavent...
It's like Ford putting out a car without putting a good fuse in the accessory 
fuse socket.  Sure the car runs and most people may never notice, but anyone 
going to use the cigarette lighter, or plugging in a CB, cell phone charger, 
etc is going to have to go out of their way to fix the problem before they 
can use that nice little extra.  (Of course, Ford has a bigger market share 
than Mandrake, so the stink raised would be quite a bit larger.)
