Actually, I think it should..  Probably not as the package stands right
now though.  For backwards compatibility ot needs to have a libMesaGL.so.3
symlink...

As for the problem you outlined, I'll try to fix it if you can provide me
with a fairly simple piece of code which will seg under 3.1 but works
under 3.0...  If it's been fixed in 3.2 I'll be happy to backport a fix or
at the very least try to isolate the problem with it.

Everybody knows by now QuakeForge in general has certainly been doing
enough code merging and by now we ALL have plenty of experience tracking
down random segaults.  =p

Red Hat has recently released a Security Advisory (RHSA-1999:030-01)
covering a buffer overflow in the vixie cron package.  Debian has
discovered this bug two years ago and fixed it.  Therefore versions in
both, the stable and the unstable, distributions of Debian are not
vulnerable to this problem..
