People need to stop distributing SVN versions.  The people who do don't ever 
think what they're doing will break people's multi-computer setups.  It's 
also pretty idiotic to pick a random checkout date and release as if it were 
stable.  This is _not_ 0.18.2, or anything related to it.

As far as I'm concerned, nobody should use KnoppMyth until they revert to 
using a stable release, or at _least_ a checkout from the release-0-18-fixes 
branch..
