I'm used to a few crashes a week, but lately it's been a few per hour!! If I'm
really cautious (ie; don't close too many windows), I can get away with a
couple of crashes a day...

Actually, version 4.61 is not unsupported, ie; it IS supported. And it's the
MOST unstable. ^_^
If the above doesn't work, I'll try the libc5 vers (altho I think I left them
coz I was sick of how slow and hungry they were...)
