Ok, I'd take that as a last resort... but I'd rather see the issue solved before
going for such a hack.
I'm not sure how many people actually use the sigalrm version. Condidering that
it appears to have been broken for me since 4.1.12, I'd expect at least some
other people using it to run into problem too. Never heard a complaint though...

Ok, that'd be cool.
If it affects everything, then I can actually test this on my old 486 with a 24
bit graphics card. It doesn't run Linux or Windows at the moment, but it does
run DOS.

My proposal was to freeze the CVS tree over night from tuesday to wednesday.
Implementing a mild feature freeze except for current issues (aka, the colour
converter) may be good anyway.

I'd love to see WIPs coming out again at a regular pace. But yeah, we'll just
have to see how it goes.
