I'm using the latest version (0.90.1) that Debian considers stable. I  
could update to a newer version but, as you have pointed out  
previously, breaking the automatic update system is not always a good  
idea.

Guess I'll poke around on the clam lists and see what I can turn up. I  
just wondered if anyone else was having this problem, or if it is in  
fact a problem at all.
