The situation is that I do this:

  xzgv `mainline -v -c @ | grep Saved | cut -d\" -f 2`

...which downloads new webcomics, and then calls xzgv on them.
Because this happens in the background, I'll be typing away in a
buffer (e.g. a mail message) and xzgv pops up just as I type the
letter "s" -- causing xzgv to segfault.  That in itself isn't much of
a problem, but it means I now hav to try and work out which comics
I've seen before and which ones arrived in the last run.

I could just work around it, I suppose:

    mainline ... >foo
    xzgv `cat foo`

Agreed; I think I was just really grumpy when I reported this bug,
because it's one of those things that is mildly annoying each time it
happens, and it builds up :-)
