Eric's pretty liberal with credit.  I just pinpointed the
regression without understanding the code, and he wrote the proper fix.

That was fun, by the way!  I enjoyed learning how to
hunt through CVS for what caused a problem to appear,
and it was really gratifying to see an official patch
so quickly as a result.

Is there a list of other known application regressions?
I might want to tackle one more.  This seems like a good
way for newbies to contribute.

I've got one for 'ya: KazaaLite.  Used to be the instructions in the 
appdb (which specified a few "dll"="native"'s and a couple of 
"dll"="builtin"'s) worked; nowadays, everyone's attempts seem to result 
in some manner of failure.

Lots of wine users seem to want KazaaLite ;)
