Overuse of ``open in new window.'' (-:

I was in a maze of twistly litle webpages, all different.

Yes. I was also running a copy of lyx.

Probably an hour, hour and a half before I finished what I was doing and 
packed it all away again. I think M18 only leaked badly in specific 
circumstances and I happened not to trigger any of them. 0.6 is *much* 
less leaky and I get many days' use out of it. Isn't 0.7 due about now?

I think M18; I'm now using 0.6.
