Well, your question was recieved by Freefall at Mon Oct 9 16:18:41 1995 which means that most people on this list didn't even see it until earlier this morning. It amuses me to think that you expect < 24h response from a *free* service. As far as stability, the SNAPSHOTs are "BETA" quality test releases, and anyone here knows that they are not the final *stable* product that will be 2.1. Anyway, I'll answer your question.

It should be fixed by for the next snapshot which should be availible tomorrow sometime. -- Justin T.
