    ical 2.0b2's tear-off menus cause my gnumalloc'd 3.1.1u2 Mach64
server to give up the ghost.  I don't know if this is a general
problem with Tk's tear-offs, or what.  Looking forward to trying the
3.1.2 server with this.

    Tell me about it:

 4904 taob      37    0  5940K 2076K run     0:34  4.06%  4.04% netscape
  165 root       2    0  6444K 5256K run   336:45  5.07%  5.07% XF86_Mach64
 5231 taob       2    0  2892K 2292K sleep   0:03  0.61%  0.61% xv

    My X server is normally up to around 12 to 15 megs after a few
hours of normal usage.  xv, after loading in several large TIFF's and
RGB files, is typically sitting up in the 5- to 6- megabyte range.
Netscape is, of course, its usual bloated self.  ;-) Other than the Tk
tear-off menu problem, it's been running flawlessly.
