Hmm, okay, but isn't the 3.23 supposed to be stable and thus more bugless than a gamma like 4.0.7?
And also, I was wondering when 4 is going to be released as stable. Looking over the changelogs, it shouldn't be too long, right? Zak: thanks for the advice. I got real pissed off about it, since it seems like a real bug. :) But I guess it helps pretty good.
