Yes, yes, and please do :-P I saw the same problem, which is why M18 was
never uploaded to woody or potato. I'm not sure yet if this is a bug in
regxpcom or if we might've run into a bash problem.
If you can track it down, I would greatly appreciate it. I've been
spending most of my free time lately trying to find the binutils problem
that keeps Qt from compiling correctly on our favourite platform :-)
