The natural thing to do is to check all the files in the Alpaca and 
Hansa2 projects as well, but, frankly, I don't have time right now. 
I'll get to them as soon as I can.

I don't want to say more than I know. The question is complicated by 
the fact that Paul has altered the sources since the 0.2 release, and I 
am now using a different version of OpenMCL. Yes, the way to figure out 
the effect of all these variables is obvious, but again, I don't have 
time right now. I'll get to it as soon as I'm able (probably I'll 
accomplish at least part of it later tonight).

Thanks for the concern and help.
