This version is known broken. As the upstream maintainer has no interest
in working on the problem, I am waiting the new release. As I have been
able to get the latest snapshot to compile and run I will be releasing a
new version as soon as it is released.
As this will not be ready until after the 1.1 release. I have recomended
in the past, and still recomend, that the 1.1.1-2 version be replaced by
the older a.out 1.1.1-1 version.
