Oh?. last version I compiled was prob 0.95 release 1 The
only change between then and now is that Im using Debian
instead of Redhat and lots of libs are now upgraded. The
previous version I was running didn't have any 'buffering'
probs with xcaverot. I really did think it was a new
feature. I'll put the old one back on this w/end and have a
look at the difference and check version no's.
