Comment 1 Jane Dogalt 2009-10-26 13:03:20 UTC
I really thought I had tested no-swap.  In any event, I have a new 0.1.16 candidate build up at

http://filteredperception.org/downloads/TESTING

which should fix this.  But I'm not yet 100% sure it didn't introduce a regression.

Comment 2 Jane Dogalt 2009-10-27 09:58:41 UTC
0.1.16 is released and contains a fix for this (or at least something which may have led to the reported symptoms).  We can reopen if the specific testcase of Thomas's still fails.
