I'll try 0.11.5; thanks for the tip.

Re woody/sid: while I've been using Linux for the last 5-6 years, I'm still
fairly new to Debian.  I've given some thought to moving up to woody for a
while, but based on what I've seen on debian-user, I think I need to be a
little more familiar with the packaging system than I currently am, in
order to handle the occasional breakages.

Yeah, the graphs and charts are the problem.  Maybe they've fixed this
since version 0.90-8.  In that version, the bar chart at the top of page 6
is all in black and white---all of the bars are solid black, except those
associated with `a letter and a number, alternating hands'.  As a result,
the chart isn't very readable.
