One of the bugs I fixed is a bit more serious, involving trying to
access freed memory, which can cause unpredictable crashes (it never bit
me, a gentoo user found it). If you're concerned about the other changes
I could isolate that fix as a patch and release 1.18.2-2, but that
doesn't really strike me as the right thing to do when the fix is
released upstream.
I'll also contact the other potential sponsor who emailed me privately
and see if he's willing to review 1.18.3-1.
