Re: beta version for test

Daniel,
The stack overflow test works as specified using my slightly modified  
version of 1.2.18 on Mac OS X 10.3.7. (The modifications are part of  
the support of XGP and not related, I think, to the stack overflow  
handling.)

What's the status of 1.2.18--is it going to be dubbed "stable" soon?
