</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 "data/"
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.
