Oh, yes, the NULL-pointer finding code was definitely a good move: I
have already received patches for (or fixed them myself with the help of
reports sent in by others) at least 99% of the problems, and it seems to
have resulted in at least the tcp/ip code working much better. I now
have reports that X11 runs fine both to and from another machine under
linux with tcp/ip, and I'll make 0.98.3 available in a few days after I
have gotten some more reports. So I'm not complaining about the
problems with 0.98.2 (although others probably are :-), but I would have
been even happier if everything had worked 100% on the first try..
