+</I>I've noticed this bug. The code that translates X Keypress
+events seems to be broken. I haven't looked at it in detail yet.
+Basically, the code expects to convert all keypresses to a number
+between 0 and 255(?) and then shoves the flag into an array.
+The alt key is getting converted into a number greater than 255
+so it generates a segfault when it tries to set the array value
+for that key.
+
+It's on my list of things to take a look at when I get time ;)
+
+On another topic, I'll post my workaround for the loading &quot;data/&quot;
+bug thingie to the list sometime tonight. We still need to work out
+_why_ it's trying to load this though. The 'fix' will make it work,
+but doesn't really fix anything.
